I ordered a Vexus 1980 and should pick it up next week. Very excited.
Got to tour the factory, visit with the company president (Forest Wood' Grandson) and a few others that run the company.... All I can say is I felt very comfortable going with the Vexus. Loved the way it handled and was really impressed by those building them.
Should be able to give a better report in a couple of weeks.
No experience with nitro at all.
Have you driven them both?
