Is your car standard?

I\'m curious how would you would charaterize the handling?  

Slippery?, on Rails?, chuckable?, tight?, loose?

Thanks

well the chassis is from the factory as far as i know. I have raced go karts for 17 years (even with Kimi Raikkonen BTW) so i have something to compare to. I was seriously amazed how well she performed! I didn\'t push it 100% but didn\'t go slow either. as mentioned this was my first time on track with it so i was a bit carefull (have had the car for 2 months or so). The steering was lightning fast, very very little or no understeer at all. when i turned the steeringwheel, she just ate the corner, very fast cornering and good response for a standard car. when leaving the corners, the acceleration was very good, (poor mans non seq) a little wheelspin that i made on purpose as it\'s fun:chat. the RX-7 really shoots from the corners!

i had no problems with the 350-450 HP skylines and S13/14\'s!!!!

All i miss is a little more power, lets say 100hp more, so that i have power to slide her properly, and even drift a bit. And proper seats, i had my friend (he had a test aswell) with me on the track and he (and I) had some serious situations to keep on place. the seats are NOT track friendly at all. you really need to hand on somethind like the door handle.

the tyres (potenza RE 01R 225/50-16) were stunning! the don\'t roll under almost at all, and all we could see was some rolling marks that were still on the edge of the grip area!

If you don\'t mind me asking...where did you get your RE-01r\'s from?
 
Can\'t seem to find a place that sells them...
 
Nice pics btw! Car looks nice :driving
