The first gears are so short, it will rapidly shift into third gear and spin - even if you go 50% throttle. You will fight with traction at every traffic light and after every low speed turn. It’s a real formula car that happens to be street legal. Besides that, the suspension is basically absent and the seats (P1 bucket seats) have no cushion. There is also no sound isolation.
