They didn't say the FQ sucked at all, they love the damn car and this its incredible. The only thing bad they said was the price (like 90k U.S).

I think he was complaining about the clutch being too hard to control cuz he stalled the car several times and the extra turbo lag, so he prefers the FQ 340, he also complain FQ was too easy to drive fast, so I'm lost, I don't know where the guy really stands..........missing a gear in the middle of a race cuz the factory made a poor shifter is one thing, but purposely racing from 5mph in 6th gear to make the FQ look bad isn't fair. We all know including Jeremy that to get 400hp from a little 2liter is going to equal some major lag. Driving a manual vehicle in that manner is something someone who's never driven a manual or is too lazy like my cousin would do. Fool drives around in 2nd gear all day long cuz he's too lazy to shift. Even then he's not dumb enough to leave it in 6th gear.
