It's acceleration numbers haven't surprised me but I want to see more about the handling over various types of roads vs the competition. It is a heavy car and weighs almost as much as my AWD DSM did and runs the 1/4 mile in what an Integra Type R did 13 years ago so I was hoping for a little more oomph out of the box.
