sofa car

i feel like they should have made the sofa car a super fast car like a high risk high reward meme car its fun to see them but no one uses them due to them being too slow to even keep up.

The problem is less with the speed and more with the fact that the wheelbase is wider than it is long. You can get some of the tiny cars (Pocket Rocket, Honeypot, even the Lawn Mower) going pretty quick if you up-engine them (they're still nowhere near competitive, but they do go quicker), but the sofa car in particular just drives very, very badly... as it reasonably should, in my opinion...

Freaking pulls wheelies so often.

Yeah, between the wheelies and the overall squirrel-ly handling, I hate the sofa car. Barely touch a button and it turns 180 degrees.
And the engine sputters a lot.

Funny thing is there is some tech with that vehicle. If you're on a full tarmac track then you can dip either your left or right set of tires off the track on the inside of sharp turns. This results in one set going slower than the other and makes you turn far sharper.

I deliberately used this once in a Tournament race event on Espedalen Raceway. XD
