It sure does.Thats why i said previously if he knew how to drive it blah blah.
My comment was purely aimed at the car being capable of the above.

Mine got caught and stuck the throttle open next to a Police car in Southend so it looks liked I wanted to race him

Awesome
I'm gonna leave mine on after it's had the engine changed
My mum keeps saying "you should stop spending on that car to save for a new one" but it's all about getting it nice and then whacking a 1.8 in it  I've told them about the engine change but they don't believe me 
Yeah but JM, you'd look even better when you do beat something

Pulsars are only good in a straight line really, its weird they want to understeer and its like the diffs are locked...strange indeed.

Absolute rubbish I can tell you for a fact they are immense handling cars.

The one I drove had adjustable top mounts and decent coilovers, maybe it was setup badly, but I really didn't like it.

Went out in one with Tein street line kit (I think), you can adjust the damping from in the car it was fantastic. I know the difference between mechanical grip and handling and this handled superb

At least you know the difference, actually the car had linglong tyres which might be why, but it had decent grip though

Mines was only on Konis with near enough standard ride height,with front and rear strut braces,on 17" wheels with Toyo's and it was showing an M3 CSL the way around Knockhill.So the "bad handling" comments are bullshite.
I will however admit they do understeer a tad but only when trying to take very tight corners(i.e roundabout) at silly speeds.Its easy enough to correct it with a bit power as the grip they have is unreal.In the wet tho it can be a bit scary with too much throttle it'l light up all 4 wheels when it came on boost.
Stick an adjustable ARB on the rear and you can turn them into arse out beasts.
