By the way, I've also tracked cars and there you are looking for the best lap times and not a "balanced" fun drive. Taking a properly setup track car on the streets is also a disaster if you really enjoy driving. I guess after so many years, I just don't think you can really have both. Even the "supercars" I've owned in the past were balanced for the streets.
Sorry you feel that way but I don’t think it’s right for you to speak for others in the same or similar position (RCE Yellows on a PP setup). I know myself, and probably plenty of others, are having a great, fun time driving these on twisty roads and adding springs like the Yellows increase the feeling even more. The car still feels plenty balanced.

Most likely you just feel a certain way about driving and that’s fine but it’s probably wrong to start generalizing as you are like it’s ruining the fun for everybody.

At least that’s what I got out of your last couple of posts.
