I have driven a mid engined car and ok it was a supercar but it was the balance that threw me.

Can feel each end is "lighter" and feels like you are the engine as such. Be seriously tempted with either option tbh
Flol last week you fancied a merc saloon with a huge engine...
(Dont take this like im saying your full of shit/dreamer... As obviously you have owned some tasty cars, just think you like me and can never make your mind up)
Whilst you're right I agree with you, it's not a performance car

VX220 turbo would be cracking as I imagine being a Z20 LET would be extremely tunable. However, not going to have the throttle response and smooth power as a N/A which may be more suited to a car like this. What about throttle bodies ona 2.0 VX

If your gunna tune a 2.2 dont mess about and just charge it, although itb's do sound nice.. A stage 1 remap for a vxt gets rid of a nasty flatspot so it will feel much better.

Think maybe you would rather power than handling?
