   Version: Launch Edition

   Alright, so after all, I finally got my results on Howler Typhoon.
   
   I'll start with acceleration and breaking: acceleration is worse, then Howler Elemental Plus', which is expected, but not by much when you turn off ESC. Breaking is very awful. But breaks do not fade as much as in Elemental Plus. Top speed is 303 mph, actually

   Engine "dies" faster, thought.
   Next up: drag racing and highway top speed tests. It shows itself quite well, still much slower, then Elemental Plus, there's not much to say about flagships. Best result is with ESC turned off. Also this car is as sensetive, as Elemental.
   
   Next up: middle size track. And there is where I saw all it's flaws already. This car is so awful for racing, its almost the worst AWD car I've ever driven that fast. It doesn't slow down at all, it doesn't wanna turn and long gearing is its main flaw in this case. It got bad time for such a powerful car, actually
   
   Next up: twisty track. It performed as well, as in the long track. It handles like a boat on a wheels, usually it wants to slide when you try to pass turns with too much gas.

   Next up: Hirochi tracks.
   Well, it did them quite better, then I expected after such experience on West Coast tracks. Still badly. Seems like this car not for racing at all.
   
   On top speed track it was quite good, actually. Top speed, acceleration made their job, but again, because of the handling it lost so much time.
   
   Move on to the highway on Italy. For such amount of power it did pretty well. It likes to turn the best only on high rpms, so I tried to be careful with it.
   
   Things got very interesting on this one. Because it's power peak somewhere on the middle of the graph, it could take slopes a lot faster, then Elemental Plus did, It lost to Elemental Plus by a few frames in acceleration race!
   
   Actually I think this car can beat Elemental Plus on top speed track, such as on Grid 2.0, but its on case where there wont be any turns where you have to slow down, because it kept very good speed on tubes.
   
   My conclusion about this car is: it's awful choice for racing, because it doesn't turn, it doesn't slow down at all. It handles like a boat, it wants to slide, when you do too much gas, and handling is much different, from the Elemental Plus.
   The good trade about this car is much better fuel economy, which is still very much, but a lot better, then Elemental Plus'.
   Obviously, Elemental Plus is a much better car, and this one feels like all the money spent only in it's looks and power, without caring about ever riding that fast.
   
   Overall design is decent, thought.
