So it feels okay, but where the car really shines is the preciseness of the steering and the overall fun to drive factor ( I drive elbow road every day )

Other cars I've owned:
Supra Turbo
Mr-2 Turbo
2x Lexus IS350
2x SRT-4
4x Legacy GT
Spec-V
3x Civic SI
3x Civic
2x Jeeps (one Cherokee one 5.9 Limited)
Corolla
Integra
Explorer
4 Runner
2011 Sonata
Celica
2x 240sx
TC
M45
Lincoln LS

Might be forgetting a few
I know the car was made for its precision around the bend, but I was wondering if it feels underpowered. Like, you and I both owned IS350s. To me, that car never seemed underpowered unless you were on a road course and TC was left on and that bogging just seemed to kill it (unless of course it was disengaged). It didn't feel over powered either.
