Thanks to @Dorifto_Dorito for trying to kill our test driver letting us test this pink abomination!
We got to drive the Nohda Super Strato 3, a pink little abomination with way too much power. The creator of this thing told us “good luck”…Our legal department took that as a threat and have given our team of radioactive gorillas the task to investigate whether or not legal action can be taken. Anyways, back to the evaluation
Lap #1 (02:24.976)
First off, this thing is all over the place. It just doesn’t want to stay still. You accelerate and it wants to pull to either the left or right. It’s like a rebellious teen. I tell it to go straight, it gets angsty and says “NO, I DON’T WANNA”. But it’s a rebellious teen that’s as buff as a bison on steroids. This thing is like the spastic kid in school who you’re always scared will at some point snap and just stab someone.
Lap #2 (02:23.265)
Flooring it is not possible. 20-25% throttle is all that’s possible if you want to keep it in a straight line. Wheelspin between shifting. Now this thing tries to spacker out and I do a 180 in a bend, hence the non existent improvement in lap time.
Lap #3 (02:32.982)
It has become clear that the car is angry that it hasn’t murdered me yet so it tries to do it. Twice. By spinning out. This time during down shifts and those are brutally punishing if you mess it up even the slightest. It’s downright brutal and I question that this thing would ever be legal to drive anywhere. It does however corner decently if you let go of the throttle. Feels quite nimble somehow.
Best lap: 02:23.265 (Lap #2).
Positives:
- I survived.
- I didn’t crash.
- Corners decently if you do it right.
- Fun way to commit suicide.
Negatives:
- All the power is virtually useless due to poor handling.
- Is spastic and murderous.
- Doesn’t want to go in a straight line if you use more then 20-25% throttle.
- Unpredictable behavior during shifting.
- Wheelspin between shifting.
Final verdict: This would be a fun way to commit suicide. It’s worse then the Sedici and the worst driveability so far. Not APDT approved.
