The car was responsive, easy to drive, fast, and transitioned side to side very well... Not twitchy or nervous at all to drive. No pronounced push, and no double steer. I was very rusty at driving so I didn't get its all out of it.. but the car was fast and very easy to get used to.

In the pic you can see I am running a GTB 4 cell ESC with the big cap, and a Hobby King Voltage booster hard wired into the ESC lead and attached to the Rx. Most of the heavy items are pushed back. I didn't move the RX back because the way I saw it this caused some bad geometry with the steering to result.
