How does the balance of the car feel? Given the added weight up front, but more power and torque etc? The whole thing about the tS is maintaining balance and precise cornering capability while still keeping power low and naturally aspirated. Thoughts? stickier tires could mean you do these same things just at a higher speed  |
The balance doesn't feel affected at all, tbh. But I'm also not a seasoned track veteran to know all of the fine details. Of course, I'm not saying I don't notice subtle details with my car, as I do. I will say, the SC does add weight to the front, but that goes without saying as you're adding something to the engine. And given the added power and torque, you don't notice it really. You just adapt to it. I'm sure you'd notice it if you went from your car to mine back-to-back.
Keeping the car balanced as with the tS model (or STI), is just one of those perks for fine tuning what the car already has. Like people added springs, or roll bars. I felt that was already there. I'm not be into the car sliding so I got stickier tires because I want the car to squeeze those corners.
