Sure, on a circuit you want a Ford GT, but there are a few things in your way. Firstly, cost. At nearly Cr. 150,000 it ain't cheap. Second, practicality. The boot is useless, the car is so low that it is an act of self-humiliation just to get in and out, and the car is soooo wide! Try driving through a town and then say that the width is okay! Finally, in the city the car has so much wasted potential. Who needs 500 BHP if you cant use it?
Thats where the SuperKa comes in. On the outside, it is the good ol' Ford Ka, and with a boot, normal seats, and some other creature comforts, it visually the same as your average Ka. As such, you will not have to emply a snowplow to clear the crowds when you want to pop over to the shops. However, the Ka has no Suons insulation anymore, and gone too are a few of the regular features. The bonnet is now carbon fibre, for example. The engine's power is now up to 193 BHP, thanks to a powerful little turbo bolted to the inline 4 engine. Couple this with a sports exhaust and you have one hell of a noise. Take that, rice burners!
We at AMMT have the luxury of affording a GT to compare with our SuperKa. We went to Citta di Arria, and the showdown commenced. We weren't simply looking for speed. We were also looking for fun, and driveability around this town. First, the GT.
Now lets get this straight, the GT is just gorgeous to look at, but the looks were not all that was on my mind when I hopped in. This is a wide car. It costs Cr.150,000. These are narrow streets.Damn, this is nerve-racking. I set off.
The GT felt like a great car, and having driven them on tracks on several occassions, I knew its potential. But it was horrible to drive through the town. I was afraid for every second, and although I eventually set a fast lap of 1 minute 38 seconds, I got out as white as a sheet.
The GT is a beautiful car, but it was no fun in the town's twisty, narrow streets. It just took too much effort.
Now, the SuperKa. I got in, and as we had the option pack with the added rollcage, I smiled as I sat in the cabin. It was a funky car. 190BHP going to the front wheels, for goodness sake! I began my drive.
The SuperKa maxes out at around 140MPH, but it felt fast doing 40. It was such a fun car, and it felt sooo fast. I was never afraid, as its Diff did its job well, and while there was wheelspin in the first two gears, that just added to the fun!
I loved every moment that I spent in this car, and was severely disappointed when I found out that my fastest lap was a 1 minute 52 second flyer. But lets think. The SuperKa is half the price. It is far more practical. And it is such a joy to drive. I looked at the GT. I looked at the SuperKa. And that night, I drove home in the SuperKa.
Happy Hunting!

Alright.. Now to the brakes.. And let me say one thing: GREAT! Well, you can't brake late.. well, you can, but you'll get understeer and that's never good having in this car.. The balance in this car is overall good, thanks to the 50 kg ballast set at -50 👍 ..

You should at least put your tuning garage above MadFinnTuners, to denote some superiority, or whatever you want to call it 
Time is another issue though, no one can have enough of that.
