haha yeah thats what I was going to say! Jeremy Clarkson's face says it all I reckon!

The acceleration is explained very well with what happens to his face!!

They are a pretty cheap car too, I think they were 18,000 pounds. Not bad for its stats, but afterall, it wouldnt be very comfortable

Nah wouldn't be comfortable, but I'd forego comfort for 0-100 in 2.8 sec

Thats the NA version...supercharged is same weight, 300HP.

They are cheap when converting from pounds to Aus dollars, but you'll find that the people importing them here are selling them for about double the price they should be..
