I saw one of these (not street version but real IRL motor) in a stretched roadster at Bonneville a couple of years ago.
Its suspension could use a lot of improvements even for just going in straight, and I'd imagine rear susp (if there's any) has similar deficiencies. The car span around at least a couple of times.
But the car sure went fast when it went straight (240ish IIRC). With a flat-plane crank, the engine sounded like a 1000cc 4cyl motorcycle at idle, and it screamed at high rpm.The first step of becoming a better driver is to attend a track event, time yourself, and realize the fact you really suck.

A driver who laps Big Willow at 1:42.6 in a 134hp BMW - and I am still considered mediocre.
