My old boss had one. Ungodly fun in a straight line but handle like a greased pig on a linoleum floor. Grossly overpowered for the terrible handling they have. The only lateral stability you'll get is from the tires.

He lent his to a friend who promptly gave it a bit too much juice in a right turn. You guessed it, slid right into a light pole. They are very, very squirly in anything but "point and shoot" applications, but they do look wicked and are neck-snappingly fast when you hit the "go" pedal.

Craft/quality of construction is marginal. It reminded me of being in a MiG-25. All engine, stoopid fast but crude and no maneuverability. Not especially comfortable either.
