Well I went from a near standard super6 and a daily corrola to this and wow it's fast. it will take some getting used to Between the cam an rip shift, although I love it, other than sometimes being abit hard to get into gears is pretty good. Once I get used to keeping the idle up (but not to much) while taking off and doing u turns and stuff should be sweet.
