Confusing average and peak speed
Having driven this and a Beat, they can maintain a higher corner speed than most cars around.
Personally it's MUCH more fun and challenging to make a car fast on twisties than it is on a straight bit of road.; Any monkey can push a throttle to the floor

Unless you dont' weigh much more than it and you've better traction with 4 flat tyres than two round ones
