Yes it is, sometimes when I didnt drove it the first time I push it it scares me, but this is the fun part. I like your "hell yeah" - this phrase describes exactly how the car runs. :-)
You can go more crazy about removing weight also but is very expensive /carbon fibre, Kevlar/ because you push a lot an always have damage on the corners of the body kit . Glass fibre is cheaper to fix and make but heaver.
I will love to share with more with you guys and planing big 4 part evolution story " How a computer guy became Pro drifter". So I will be happy to share with you this adventure in Motorsport.
