Very cool car, but I wouldn't want to be wearing those belts in a crash. Why in hell would anyone anchor them to the floor when there's a perfectly good cage bar at the proper level right behind the seats? :doh:

Is the delay in wheelspin in the first vid (front to back) the time it takes the viscous centre to register loss of traction in the front and thus divert power to the rears?
