get a tune and some lightweight 15/16 for the track and you'll be happier.

You bought a convertible bro, not a race car. I run mid 9's in my eclipse with only intake, get over it!:ghey2:

The sporty takes more power to turn and the gear ratios are not as close versus the 5spd.

what kills me is the weight and the fact that is a sporty. I notice at low end it picks up kinda slow, but on the long run thats where the car gains speed.

Sounds like your car is lacking a few things....Since it is a FWD platform, you most certainly need a stiff driveline.... Add some Poly or Solid motor/tranny mount, an LSD, and a nice 15 inch slick that will soak up all of the wheelhop. Decent reaction time though! As stated earlier, the heavy wheels most certainly hurt the performance. Rotating mass is a big OBSTACLE! I can't remember for sure but the AGX struts are adjusable correct?
