Well, got some seat time at a local small autoX. The car performed better than I expected. First gear is pretty much useless on street tires, so I'd shift out of it very early, and just let the torque do all the talking. The car still has on throttle understeer, which means that I'm essentially bottoming out front suspension. It would rotate once I'd get off the throttle, but that's not the fastest way to go through the corner, so I need to order much stiffer coilovers front and back. It was fun though to finally being able to throttle steer, rear tires got one hell of a workout lol. Motor felt good though, ran fine most of the day. Fuel mileage still sucks, something like 21mpg on hwy. Some pictures.

Looking solid, I think my Z06 put up damn near identical numbers when it was stock.

I'm pretty happy with it right now. Next step is to go stiffer on suspension, so I could reduce or eliminate the understeer.
