It's only been a day but..
I have a 5 speed. 1st and 2nd gear a little better but not a kick in the pants. 3rd and 4th is where the grins come in. I hit 75 in 3rd with no problem. The car can give way more than the stock. 3rd was good before but it is waaay better now! In 5th gear when I hit 85, the rpm was still under 3000. Great!It is deceptively smooth unlike a high output turbo in the 9-3s. From that standpoint, I was disappointed - I wanted the sensation. However, I found myself breezing along and it got to high speed quickly. It was so quickly that I found myself tapping on the brake from rear ending the car in front of me. I test drove a 2002 Aero before and it acts the same except I like my clutch over the Aero's better. I found the Aero's clutch way too light.
The sway bars helped a lot in body roll. I really haven't tested the cornering aspect of it but it's pretty good. Need to drive it more.\
