All I can say is WOW.
Even though I've had the car for 2 years, I never drove it hard until last night, since the original engine was very tired and the suspension was toast.
Even with junk tires on it and taking it easy around corners, I now know why people love these cars.
It's been almost 10 years since I sold my 87 RX7 Turbo and after last night it all started coming back to me...power oversteer, sliding the back end around corners, power pushing me back into the driving seat, etc, etc.
With Bilstein HD's and Eibach 1.25 drop springs and Ireland Engineering F/R sway bars the car doesn't seem to lean at all, and feels tighter than anything I've driven in a while (not counting the Lambo, Ferrari, Ford GT, Z06 Corvette, and Noble MT 400 I drove last spring).
The S52 feels way stronger than the RX7 ever felt, even at 12lbs of boost.
Can't wait to get some good tires on it and new brakes.
