Granted, I have the superlight america, which only has about 200 hp, a regular gearbox, and none of the junior aero bits on the nosecone, but I suspect this car wouldn't behave much differently just a little faster. I'm not yet bored or crazy enough to think I need an additional 60 hp, but maybe someday. The sequential gearbox looks fun, and the car is pretty easy to slide around in.
My Wesfield - with ~120hp hit the aero wall at ~175km/h (110mph) but no lightness at the front (just no power to go any faster)

Driven with and without the windscreen - WOW does it make a difference!
