I'm quite surprised to hear you say that Simon.
Whilst I've nothing to compare them too on the 570, today having done 150 miles in my new car in the rain & damp (temp down to 6c tonight) & whilst giving it quite a bit of stick on all sorts of roads, I thought the car felt like a real weapon on them.
Once or twice the steering was a tad twitchy whilst really pressing on over twisty / bumpy quick lanes, however it didn't feel unsafe to me. Guess it probably helps that I'm used to Caterham's steering which is super rapid with a quick rack & pretty flighty too.
I had a couple of very minor slides coming out of third gear corners but nothing that I wasn't expecting with the torque surge on a damp road.
What were the difference's you felt with the standard version?
Hi, I have driven one or two faster cars in my time so understand the quick steering etc Whilst I've nothing to compare them too on the 570, today having done 150 miles in my new car in the rain & damp (temp down to 6c tonight) & whilst giving it quite a bit of stick on all sorts of roads, I thought the car felt like a real weapon on them.

The Corsas do not get up to temp very easily not with my driving style anyway. The are very sensitive to tram lines and move around a lot under braking. The steering has a woolly disconnected feel, t’was the same on the Vantage too. Grip levels my be similar but feel is much better on the zeros at current road temps
