Me want anyways
I'd still get one. At roughly $85,000, my tested Peridot had one other major flaw: I could not go anywhere without being stared at. I guess this is designed for throttle-y expressive people like me to save it for the race track and not highways.

Yes, I'd still buy one if only to seriously spank some asses at a track event without as much as lifting a finger off the wheel. For the times where I'd want to prove my worth, I'd spring for a 1M.
