I was thinking the same thing. Seemed like too much wheelspin......easy for me to duplicate that!

Maybe it works better on the strip where traction is better than smooth concrete with no rubber.

Is it somehow defective now? I don't understand these comments.

Besides, in an earlier post they already said it was a test fleet car.
