So its not like some unmanageable pig to drive, lol.

That .97 is on the 19" wheels.
It will pull greater than 1g when lowered with the sticky 20" rubber. Been there; done that.
My comment was really about being able to fully utilize the power and without wider tires the M50 struggles for grip on a launch.
It's definitely not a pig to drive and I've done hot laps at Sears Point Raceway in mine.
