If you think the Potato is slow, ask the people at the
convention who saw it pull away with ease from the
group 1 advanced drivers pack, lap some of the group 1
cars in just a few laps and shread up the track until
the lame driver flatspotted the tires.

The potato was developed with no money from donated
parts and has never been tested as their is no budjet.
If some money comes through, it will get a quaife
diff, maxima rear brakes, SE-R rear axle assembly and
an Altima final drive ratio. It will be unbeatable
then.

The GMR guys really goofed up the car as they put
there paws on it without getting permission from us
adding 1" of toe out making the car evil handling to
the max.

The car is not slow.
