I totally agree with you.
Geometry is one key area that with a proper setup, it can make these cars so much more aggresive and actually handle that much better. The geom. from factory seems to be very safe and also not that accurate.
After further adjustment to geometry my turn-in is pin sharp and very very quick and the car is just so well balanced now.
But I have obviously made a number of mod's including suspension, ARB's and anti dive/lift kit.
As regards to EVO's Vs Scoobs.... I have my own opinion now, which I hope will come to fruition at this years TOTB handling competition.
I will also be interested in the outcome when the car is corner weighted in a few weeks.
As regards to the diff not letting the car slide..... slam one in to fully open diff mode and give it a fistfull....... it will slide then!
