Test drove the STaSIS S5 today on some lovely Napa valley twisties...
They have arrived at a very nice compromise between a track and street set-up. The car was more balanced at the corners vs OE. Weight transfer was much less noticible although the "stock" feeling was not lost. As you would expect braking was perfect. I did not get on the track, but one could tell that it would be a great improvement over the stock suspension and brakes.(Paul claims 1:50 on street tires) Oh yeah the exhaust system was also very sweet. They have managed to refine the notes to ones that was not really noticed from the cockpit but we probable woke a few farmers up on or cruise. Thanks, Paul, Mike and the gang up at the point.

I agree with all those points... just needs a supercharger to be a damn-near perfect car.
Jared was kind enough to let me take it out last month when I was up for the A4 driving experience.
