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.

Solid diff in the rear my asssssss.
In addition, adding the RIGHT amount of power, that is matched to the right type of suspension SETTING and brakes, and chamber angles, tires, etc. is not going to disrupt the handling capabilities of the car.
"adding more power" IS goin to disrupt the handling capabilities of the car.
