aye, but thats mid forties with a single speed... not bad at all, i quite fancy one of the posh os 21s for it - a 21rzbtgfsdr or whatever it is! still not sure on the top speed of the cen, its silly and makes me swear a lot, but its the handling that im after like u say, along with decent speed.
dont get me wrong tho - the cen handles pretty well, but balancing the power in turns is tricky. the midrange really means it, and holding a nice drift without snapping back to understeer takes some practice, and getting oversteer just right on the way out is very tricky. 2wd is great, enough grip so as not to scare the diff (no slipper clutch) and handling is much better imo - wheelies are a major issue tho in 2wd, but the drifts... oh the drifts...! eh? what snapped driveshaft...?
