Note the sound compared to the very flat noise the mini mod makes
Understeer - is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
Oversteer - is when you hit the wall with the back of the car
Horsepower - is how fast you hit the wall
Torque - is how far you move the wall when you hit it

So you had all older ones? I have had 7 of the newer versions currently a 2017 S. I have not raced any, but I have had Jerry drive one at Nelsons Ledges and one at Pitt Race which is now an RF@ track.

my son had 2019 S which was a lot more civilised and a hell of a lot faster than the old ones , but not as much fun to drive , with the old ones think of a go kart with a roof and brakes , you looked at a corner turned in and then used throttle to adjust the line , great fun . 80 mph felt like 100+ if you saw a hundred you had probably just driven of a cliff :p

well I love mine and all of them, mine will do a 100 without even working hard and it gets there quickly. very fun to drive. I do like the size of the 2010 thru 2015 better.

I chuckle to myself now when i see one , they would almost fit inside my current car and the driver/passenger heads are bobbing away with the rock hard ride , but in comparison to the other cars of thier day boy did they handle , and the induction roar especially on lift off was fantastic , but if i remove the rose tinted glasses and be honest i would probably not want to drive one for very long , too hard too noisy and a bloody awful driving position
