I'm just curious, because your profile says that you're 17. I am just trying to understand why you're coming at everyone with such authority.
If you got the experience, fine, but it doesn't exclude the experience of others who are posting in this thread.

Let me be the voice of reason here.
ED9 - You're way off topic and purposely attacking people. You're 17. You drive a crx. You're an internet racer. You've proven to everyone who bothered to read this thread that you're opinion is shit ans will aways be shit.
HAN - please do us all a favor and just "ignore" his comments.
His a little young kid with a crx and that's all he has.

I know some things, but I'm no expert and I'm not claiming to be, I don't get why I am just being flamed. I don't mind admitting I am wrong about something if someone tells me why.
Considering it is stock suspension (according to them) it still has the same performance factor in both straight line and corners as a stock S2k would have. The only real difference is it has a shitload more power to do it with.
As for lag coming out of corners...wrong...a driver who knows their car learns how to keep their boost on or just short of on through a hard corner. You wouldn't want full spool in all situations anyways or the rear is going to break loose and set you for a spin. So you keep the rpms just below spool then as you straighten out you hit the spool point and rail it out.
Not going to excel at Autox by any means with this setup but on a circuit track it will do just fine.

Dammit I fucked up 
It does not have the same performance value due to the excessive power. So yes it will act differently in corners and hard launch but a good driver can compensate for that.
My bad in saying that in the first place.
