Is it worth it?
Can you make it faster than a 4th gen at the same weight? Has independent rear. Anyone make suspension stuff like Strano does for our cars? WHat brakes can you get on them? |

I think the wheel wells kind of limit the width of tire you can put under the car, and the stock tune does some real stupid stuff when you try to work the car hard, i.e., bang a gear too hard, and it goes into limp mode, and when it gets hot, the car goes into engine cooling mode where it dumps so much gas into the engine, your eyes will burn. That can probably all be tuned out, but those are the complaints I got from a good friend who owned one for a while. He's an avid autocrosser (his wife is a national champion), but he rarely autocrossed the car.
But he said the car was stupid-fast and very comfortable on the street. |
