Other than that the car is a very capable track weapon.
I get this too when going up inclines on an angle. I'm lowered on Velocity springs.

I think I'm fine with just motoring around on public roadways, cruising if you will.

Tracked Mine as well as drive it all year round in the worst snow possible (Winnipeg). No complaints for what it is. Not a track car at it's soul, but capable and extremely fun. I would say don't race it for track times (If you want that get a GTR or something) but race it for the fun. The car on track has a unique personality that really wants to have a good time. Personally, I found the power vectoring to be more smooth than any other car I have had, and I was genuinely surprised at how well it held up going 10/10ths. She is pretty heavy so watch out lifting that right foot!

Cheers and enjoy!

P.S. Brakes are solid. Stock pads and stock fluid held up quite well, but if you have a brake heavy track, get pads and fluid to be safe!

A great day Monday at Atlantic Motorsport Park near Halifax NS with the PCA club. Getting used to the car at speed and this day much greater corner speed ( butt dyno) and so a bit of "harder" brake pedal lat in each session....on a 180-190 kmh to 90 kmh corner.
Car always wins the corner workers "best sounding car of the day".
Embarrassed to admit to point by a Shelby 350R ( flat plane crank, $20,000 carbon fibre wheels !! ) and a wicked fast GT4.....surely they were must faster cars...surely could not be a lack of skill on my part. (I keep telling myself)
Noticed 7.4 l/ 100 k on the highway averaging 118km/h for 300km.....and 88.l /100km at one glance I took at speed on the track.
A good day.
Alan

Nothing to be embarrassed about. Both of those cars are VERY capable track cars and I would honestly be surprised if it didn't happen.
