fixing the s1 handling??

[mrhatmostly]

ok, the s1 is undoubtedly a damn fine handling car but rumour has that its on-limit handling is a bit viscous. now is this just a track situation (ie when driving 10/10ths) or will it be discovered on real world driving (if pushing a little - not that i would do that on a public road - lordy no!).
and can this be fixed by a suspension upgrade? hope so, as i find the s1 much prettier than the s2...
