It's a lot more fun to drive. The saab was fairly well dialed in, but was doing some things that required throwing a lot more parts at the car to fix. Namely it was lifting a rear tire almost everywhere and the WRX transmission couldn't handle that. Setting that rear tire down meant ruining the turn in and front end grip so it was a game of trade offs. The rx8 chassis is just fantastic now that it's getting more dialed in. There's quite a bit more grip and the car is just plain more fun to drive. The saab was a little quicker in a straight line, but I think the rx8 should be the faster car overall this year.
Love it dude. Hell of a lap great driving. K-swap the world!
Thanks man! I wish I got some more dry time out there, I think I left some on the table in a few spots.
How do you like it compared to your Saab?
