Form follows function man, that car was designed to do one thing: go 220 mph... hense the name. And it did it. Perhaps if it only went 90 or something I'd agree with you.

I could care less about top speed man... I'll never, ever, ever have a street car going more than like 145-150, and when I do that it'll only be chasing lap times at RFR.
The handling of that SUPERCAR was bad because it was always understeer or snap oversteer, with precious little in between. You'd think that one could engineer one or the other out quite a bit if not completely, and then it wouldn't totally suck, just not be very good.
