With the right suspension I'm sure the car will still handle well. Just a case of getting the balance right. May end up a bit nose-heavy compared to standard as it will be stripped to the bare bones anyway, but will get round that with some development I'm sure.

It will only be pikey from the point of view of having a decomp plate. Boost won't be massive and management won't be scrimped on, so it will be ok. If it melts a bottom end or two, it won't exactly cost a fortune to replace them
