But if you are taking it to the a road coUrse, or an autox, be prepared to deal with annoying, fun killing, tire shredding, trench digging, terminal understeer. The floppy suspension means the car will roll over substantially on the outside front at turn in, mid corner, you might get it back neutral just in time to roll onto the throttle, and experience the joy of understeer on the exit.

Chassis upgrades = horsepower for the turns...
yea ive spent some time at beaver run and the car does understeer especially if u are on the high cam in the turns
i got a video of myself therr and all u hear is tires squeeling
i also broke one of sway bar endlinks on that track

just remember that with a racing suspension (even just energy bushings) normal driving will crack your teeth...this is why i removed my COMPLETE energy kit after last summer because every single groove in the road will make you want to kill someone.
