In terms of its performance in the arena, I'd agree that Panic Attack Gold didn't look anywhere near as swift, agile or powerful as its predecessors. However, let's not forget that the Series 5/Extreme and Series 7 versions had radio issues just as bad as Gold's, and that the Series 3 version was a nightmare to drive, constantly spinning round in circles whenever it tried to turn round. I wonder how much better Gold could've been if Kim Davis had the time to test it and sort its reliability gremlins out. Maybe with a faster and more powerful drive system it could've been a modern take on the original Series 2 machine, instead of a low golden box that got pulverised by Terrorhurtz and Matilda.
