It's easily the fastest car I've ever driven in a straight line and generates the highest cornering forces I've experienced. Before this car I had never encountered anything that required me to fundamentally recalibrate my brain to what is possible.

The best way I can explain this is when Sam and I reviewed data I noticed we were both entering slaloms at higher and higher entry speeds on subsequent runs, thinking "no way will this go." We'd both exit the slalom thinking "Well, I underdrove that." Sam commented that he's pretty sure he never got to the limits of the car in transitions. It's nutty.
