Wheel spinning in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th  :wink:

.........off the car, down the road, after the Axle broke, the engine shook itself out of position, and the fuel lines ruptured.

Not so sure about that.  the spaceframe rear looks to be reasonably strong, not sure about the connection between the cab and the rear though.  I would be looking for more bracing to link the roof to the front and rear turrets and thus add rigidity to the shell.  The supension is all Porsche so should handle the power easilly enough, as long as you don't turn the boost up too much, and if correctly mounted should mean that it handles quite well.  It is difficult to make any real observations without knowing anything about the builder and his/her knolledge / abilities.

If well thought out and constructed could be a real pocket rocket.

Looks amazing.

Could have minor build and running issues.

Given the wheelbase and power I think it could be rather endy-swappy when pushed.
