It seemed hard to drive at a slow pace, like in city traffic.  It
either bogged or lugged at low rpm.  Or with a little throttle was
like BAM! turbo kicking in NOW!  It seemed to lack a middle ground,
power wise.  Similarly with the steering, it seemed a little
disconnected - don't get me wrong, the thing flew through corners
like it was reading my mind, and the grip was nearly unshakable;  but
it  seemed difficult to really accurately place it in a lane, eg:
trying to drive a proper racing line.  Maybe it was just because
things were happening do damn fast, it overwhelmed me!

>So what are you doing with the SE-R?

It's been sitting in the garage for almost two years now.  Need to
fix a few things and sell it.  It's a really clean 1993 with only
around 111K on it, and has been a VA & NC car its whole life, so it's
basically rust free.  I bought it thinking it would replace my
original one, but somehow I just never "bonded" with it.
