I want plant my foot into the throttle and throw the car at any given corner and not worry about having to much wheel spin and power. Of have to worry about throttling/feathering/understeer/oversteer. I want to have a car that makes me feel like im at peace when i drive, regardless of speed.
Couldn't agree more...but my concern is that "electronic steering" cited in the brochure - such setups have a nasty habit of anesthetizing that direct connection to the road - witness my dad's current Corolla XR-S, with electronic steering that is completely DOA, what an abomination that car is. My 1st gen Tib has 100X the road feel. (To think he once had a 911!)
