The only critisim that I have is to do with the Rear Bar. IMHO It's too boxy. I'm not a fan on it.

I think the merkins have to have big rear bumpers. With drums on the back, they obviously don't rate braking very highly.
I like how you have to connect the nitrous your self, probably no warranty.

LOL complete with a $2 rocker switch from Jaycar.
Reminds me when I wired up the neons in my old Pulsar to a missile flip switch with NOS written above it.

Seppos dont seem to know about putting together a good all round car. They only know how to go straight or round 'n' round .

I suppose its probably not as bad as we think, it looks the part though. But I think the brakes really needed a boost, espcially rear discs. The cars not too heavy and will probably do okay for normal short runs, but if youre going to take it on a track and have a few hot laps....I think this is where their weakness will show up??

the Saleen Focus Was Known for its cornering Prowess.....it handles better than the ST170 and for a reason. its fitted out with Full Eibach suspension.
The Funny thing with the NOS is that as soon as you fill the Bottle the Warranty on the car is VOID hahahahaha Dum Americans.

It's Rice, pure and simple. Spew body kit, gay NO2 and it is nothing more than a stocker with a bit wing, kit, rims and NO2, so really nothing more than what you could glue on using parts from SupaCrap. That and the fact that NO2 is illegal on the street anyway... so it's hardly anything to boast about. A Stock XR4 would smoke that and it's cheaper. NEXT!

Its the typical american car, bullshitloads of power, insufficient stopping power. They only care about flat out straight line speed.
