I used to think that driving a car set up for the track was not that fun on the street because you were never really able to push it even close to its limits without going so fast that you were taking too many risks.

But with this setup, even when driving at these lower levels it is just a blast because the steering precision and road holding levels are so high.
Thanks Bill, I have a blast on mine driving to and from my local ski area. The road is very windy with long radius corners with loads of broken pavement and frost heaves. This is the place where I do my "fast road" testing and validation, the car is fun on that stuff now, before every undulation or bump would send it porpoising and because of the bump steer it would require steering correction after it hit the bump and of course the roll . Now I really have to watch my speed

Vishnu is above puns. Puns are bad, don't use them.
