The supercharged one is supposed to be a good car, but if it's anything like the base model I drive, it will have torque steer from Hell, even when just passing someone.

My uncle had one, mind you he had a stage 3 supercharger kit on it. It was fast, handled well in smooth, tight turns, but rougher than a rodeo bull.

I used to race dirt oval cars with no PS, sometimes PS, and suddenly no PS. 2 brakes, 3 brakes, 4 brakes. Once i had an engine mount break mid race, the engine would rock under the torque of acceleration keeping the throttle hung open. I just pushed in the clutch, the engine dropped back in place and the throttle magically 'un stuck'. I drove 10 laps that way...

I think better driver training is needed for all these pussy drivers out there...

Reminds me of pontiac sunfire.....think its the same chassis. Rear end kept kicking out over bumpy turns. Just a solid beam axle basically.
