Power delivery and engagement are more important than power and laptimes to me.

I loved my BRZ because I could push it at 10/10ths occasionally on the street and barely be outside of the law, and...

I was running 20mm spacers on 225/45-17 Bridgestone S-04's with wheels that had 4mm more positive offset than stock, (so the wheels were out 16mm at all 4 corners.)
