The AU is well known for haveing a very balanced ride and excellent "point and shoot" drivability. If it feels like a monster, it needs work.
Please dont take this the wrong way Caspet, but have you ever driven really light nimple and suspension tuned cars? I'm talking Honda CRX's, Integra Type R's etc. I think it's a big statement saying she rides like a 1200KG nipper, specially on stock suspension.

Being nimple is fine and well, but you still need to accept that these cars weight a good 1700KG+, so they aren't light, and definately went designed to be flung around tracks.
