Its very responsive and corners like no BIG car I've seen. I am accustomed to the "old skool" pro-street type chassis with a stiff ride quality and this was a treat to drive.
But in the same light as you, this car will see track time and I (coming from a racing background) would like to know how it will relate to weight transfer and reaction from preloading the rear.

super car Steve. I guess a guy could install the system, get the best compromise of ride and handling with the air pressure (to his individual taste), then align it there and call it good. I live out in the country, and roads aren't nice and flat like yours in that pic. So ride quality has an effect on me as a stiff car isn't real fun to drive.
