I went to take a test drive of this car about a week ago and I wanted to pass on my notes. TLDR: Great car, if I was a Colorado resident I probably would have bought it but titling in California in the time of Covid is tricky and I have a fun car to tide me over. Background/comparisons: I was interested in this car to replace my Locost with a 1600 xflow. The chassis in my car is running out of reasonable upgradeability and jumping to a new chassis before any more power or handling upgrades make much sense. I’ve also taken rides in a Superlite R400 and a 1700 xflow although I have not driven either. Power: The car has tons of power that is accessible over a wide RPM band, I was held back by road limits from ever getting out of 3rd gear but it was smooth and quick to rev up at all times. Comfort/handling: Much more comfortable ride than either my Locost or the R400. Personally I like the stiffer ride and sparser cockpit but it was nice to not have my organs bouncing around too much. The seats had tons of side - to - side support and at 5’9 the car was plenty big enough. I really enjoyed the clear view of the driver’s side front wheel and I knew exactly where the car was at all times. Both my Locost and the R400 have aeroscreens which I really like, but the wind deflectors on the windscreen really helped make the airflow more comfortable. In the 1700 xflow I've been in without wind deflectors the airflow could whip around the windscreen and apply uncomfortable pressure to the outside ear, which was not the case here. Seller made it clear that it would be easy to tighten up the shocks for track use or if you prefer a little stiffer of a ride. The exhaust makes it nice and warm without requiring a heater, but was never uncomfortably hot. The braking was much stiffer than I am used to, because I’m a bit shorter than the seller I was using a foam block to be in a comfortable sitting position and I couldn’t easily apply as much force as I would have preferred, but it’s reasonably straightforward to adjust the pedal box or potentially move the seat forward. Previously the seat was on adjustable rails but it is in a fixed position now. Fit/finish/accessibility: The car is in great shape, sensible upgrades have been made, using existing mounting holes wherever possible. Seller showed some track upgrades that come with the car that I was especially interested in as I have not been confident to take my Locost to the track and I would like to, but I don’t know enough about them to evaluate. It is much easier to get to components in the car to do repairs or upgrades, the Locost I drive has a one-piece fiberglass body and a removable bonnet but access is terrible outside of the engine bay. This car has removable body panels with access to the engine area, area behind the dashboard, sub-trunk area, etc.
