So to put this to rest, i took out the car, and took it out on the rally roads.
Still breaking in the engine, but i had enough revs and torques for some angry driving. So i did just that.

In my opinion, it's not the tires..
it's not the steering either.

It's the bloody suspension.


i got some serious speeds going, and it got through all the turns ok
but the truth is : I got so seasick by the time i got hom, i opened the door, stuck my head out and fully expected to puke my guts out.

It's to soft

That's what's wrong with it.. the old one felt like a 944.. no roll
You stuck it in a turn, it planted itself and took it.

The new one rolls like a people carrier..it constantly shifts it's weight around and rolls like a friggin boat.
