Let me get this straight....

You like the way the car handled from the factory. Lightweight and responsive!
You add 100 pounds of equipment behind the rear axles. You wonder why it's not as fun.
To fix this, you want to add 40 pounds of unsprung rotating mass and giant numb tires. For that beefy look! Brilliant!
Oh lets also add some coilovers! Not a bad idea but I'm assuming you are pursuing hellaflush looks. Awesome!

Now you have a car that handles far worse than stock and feels slow as hell from all the weight.

Let's add a turbo! Awesome, you've added weight everywhere!

What was this car supposed to be again? Lightweight and responsive? Should have bought a 370z I think. It's not too late.
