Nemesis shouldn't even be in someones top 10 list of karts to purchase - phantom has 4 generations of karts already inherently faster than a nemesis, and there's at least 10 to 15 other brands/models that are at different levels of comparison to their top 4.
I know I've offended the Nemesis guys, but I'd prefer that more Newbies stick around for a couple of years, rather than run a few times and never come back.
