They're a nightmare in exactly the way that I posted in the post you were replying to. They're bad diesels (slow, not enough HP, tons of extra crap onboard) and horrible electrics (they really aren't even electrics, they're crippled in electric mode, gap out, etc). They are the sort-of jack-of-all-trades that aren't actually good at doing ANYTHING. M-8's are great electrics, P40's are debatably good diesels (although slow loaders). P32's are good at nothing.

Heck, if one-seat rides from diesel territory are really that important (I don't think they are), they would probably be better off just putting a few venting hoods on diesel tracks so that they could idle in GCT and the heck with the DM thing.
