Nothing special compared to what else? I drove one at the Zoom-Zoom Live events and it was fantastic in stock trim. The body is a bit higher than an autocrosser would like, but nothing some springs or coilovers can fix. The engine had plenty of pep for the weight of the car. I didn't get to do any full throttled 3rd gear runs because the autocross course was tight, but 2nd had plenty of pep for the weight of the car.
