Perfectly balanced, with a great chassis, short gear ratio, rifle bolt action transmission, front lsd, and a super responsive engine with a monster red line. Great power to weight ratio. The car was purpose built and this is in stock form. Anyone who goes to the track knows what these cars are capable of.
If you compare to the gc which major complaints were chassis was not rigid at all, very imprecise shifting, engine was not very responsive due to head design it just didn't flow well and choked at higher power levels. Has great grip but handling due to suspension setup when stock was horrible. I've owned both and been in highly modded versions of both but for sheer fun and how easy it is to drive these things fast I would take a Type R any day.
