the zed looks faster than she is,
proper fat girl, but a comfy rider,
have to remember the zed is a GT cruiser, not an out and out sports car. its designed to eat through the miles and help you travel in comfort, with lots of torque for overtaking without having to change down etc.
if you want a light weight racer, you need a VXR220 turbo, elise, exige, caterham etc etc etc. or an S2000, as all are proper sports cars
