I want to keep that supercar handling that makes up for the off the line acceleration. More rigid that a porsche gt3 and a .91 g turn stock. Most high end cars cant do that to this day. What will the extra weight in the front do to that?
Now that I have been to the Dragon i can tell you all about the handling. First I will tell you my set up. Voughtland Springs, koni shocks, 345mm front rotors with CL/S600 calipers, 330mm SLK55 rear rotors with S/CL65 AMG rear calipers. Pizzaguy will confirm the braking which stops the car incredibly fast. I was able to drive very hard all day without any fade or evene the slightest brake smell. Many stock Crossfires were cooking their brakes. Taz and I were following a SRT and we used more brakes trying to not hit the SRT in front of us after powering out of a turn than on turn entry. the car corners flat is very nuetral. the V8 seemed to eliminate the factory built in understeer. I mention to Paul (Taz, 55K V8 yellow roadster) that my car seemed to handle better with the V8 and he said his car definitely handles better with the V8, so it was not my imagination. I could stay with any car there through the twisties and then leave them on turn exit. Into the trun is feels like well set up Crossfire. Out of the turn is feels like a Z06!
