I love how people "think" that by adding more power is going to disrupt the handling capabilities of the car. Or, just make it less fun. That's flat out wrong. The chassis was designed for handling from the get go, and that's what matters most. Adding power here is icing on the cake. Powering out of turns, getting up to ideal track speeds faster/sooner on straights, all pluses.
The reality is, virtually every non cone dodger on here would be chomping at the bit for the first FI kit... why anyone on here leaves "power" off of the "sports car requirement" list is mind blowing.

Anyway, this is huge news -- HUGE!
