Yes, but as I said:

It's so fundamentally different to, say, a sierra with drop shackles it can't be compared.


It's not designed for any speed at all. Bill typically drives it in compound low- 270:1
It's vastly heavy. Somewhere around 2250kg. With a single skin alloy body, You can work out where the weight is
It's barely sprung at all. Whilst it flows over cross-axle obstacles smoothly, driving square over a small log just about compresses your spine. It doesn't "ride" As soon as there is any compression it's hard on it's bumpstops.
The spring spacing is incredibly narrow for the track width. It has no appreciable roll stiffness, just slightly more in the rear than the front
It pretty much goes to pieces if Bill tries to bump it up anything.

It's so counterintuitive for someone used to sierras it's hilarious.
