Thanks guys,

I picked the car up today. One inch through the throttle it feels like a stout street car, anything past that it goes insane and boils the tires/points sideways in the first four gears.

The clutch is a bit heavy and the shifter as well but it is short of throw and quite precise. Traction control is a bit of a joke at this point, it does help a little but the car is twisting, raising and hurdling down the road while burning the tires even with it on.

I've never driven a car that has this kind of Jekyll and Hyde behavior, I do enjoy it though.

Careful, traction controll is not a good thing in these cars. It decreases fuel and thats bad mkay.
