the car is awesome, it surprised me at the power it has in every gear, and on the freeway you bearly use the 6th gear. the sound of the rotary is awesome, and where ever u point it it turns. it also really does fit 4 adults nicely and has so many great features.

The problem is really only because the ECU doesn't understand that the car is sitting still and the back wheels are spinning.
So it puts it into a sort of "Safety Mode" and runs a little less efficiently.

The BMW M3 has a similar problem, it's traction computer won't let the rear wheels spin faster than the front wheels. Which is what is needed for a dyno run.

Nice car man.

P.S. I feel like a star in our small town. I get so many looks and 'wow, what kind of car is that?' comments...
