Skidpad (g's): 0.77 600 ft. Slalom (mph): 57.5 Acceleration Comments: Similar to Neon, with a 2700 rpm brake torque. However, this is met by ZERO wheelspin. Shifts occur 300 RPM below redline. Transmission does not allow for the manual engagement of first gear. To utilize first gear you must be in "D". Placing the lever in second gear and stomping on the gas will not result in the tranny kicking down to first. Braking Comments: No ABS, yet brakes feel decent. Threshold is not as touchy as the Neon. Brakes do not feel powerful, but do feel confidence inspiring. Very straight and linear with little squeal or lockup. Brakes don't have near the power as the Dodge. Skidpad Comments: Obscene amount of body roll. Tons of tire squeal. Both driver's side tires were completely unloaded. Too much play in the steering. Lots of correction was needed to keep on course. Not enough lateral support in the seats. Felt extremely slow. Slalom Comments: SUPER slow steering. SLOPPY. Massive amounts of input required with little feedback. Wheel is far too thin. Rack ratio is terrible. Despite all this, the car was still predictable.
