even with the stock 237hp output it must be a blast, it does 0-100 in something like 4.7s in the 4c. As fast as my 330hp cayman...

Je me suis peut être mal expliqué, le derrière sort vers la droite.
Ça vient pas du volant comme une fwd torque steer, ça file plus comme si l'auto veut drifter.
Pis le toit qui frotte c'est juste une question de bien l'aligner à l'usine. Le mien l'est, pour frotter il faut le pousser par exprès vers les appuie tête rollbar. Mais effectivement c'est assez commun.

Tune it so we can cause havoc with our flame map around ile perrot and fuck with the kids who think they're cool in their rice buckets.

Already do. Here I was feathering the gas pedal just enough to keep up with his Vtek dans panne.
Problem for me is 1: Time, 2: my wife doesn't want me to void the warranty and 3: she knows I can get kocky behind the wheel and already with the stock I do. I suppose she doesn't want me to lose my license even though I haven't had a ticked since 2004 - let's jinx it by saying it "a-la Paul Houde" why not?
Also if I add HP to that car I definitely will have to get wider wheels and tyres. That'll add a couple thousand dollars to just the tune.
Plus tuning isn't simple:

I have a hook up for wheels and tires. Do a resonator delete, I added test pipes that's why its loud, thinking about going a different route though. My car sounds raspy and it lost the nice vq sound that it should have.

probably gripper tires could do the trick without changing the wheels

If I tune it, it'll be to add a few pops and gargles to the exhaust I think. EuroCompulsion have a tune that can put stage 0 to normal mode and stage 1 to sport mode, or stage 1 on normal and stage 1 with their "pops and grunt" option on sport.

Notably though even stock, it's a real attention magnet. People keep asking the oddest questions. Just yesterday on St-John's on the way home an older guy in a Subaru asked me if it was a new MG.
Er... no.
The funniest/coolest thing I keep seeing happen is when I'm at a light or in traffic and there are two guys in a car behind me, they look over their sunglasses at the crest, they talk for a bit then one of them takes out his phone and googles it, then they both nod.
Also seeing children's reaction to it is super cool. Some will literally jump from joy, full SRS I'm not even making this up. I had a ~9yr old kid near Beaconsfield Elementary gawk at it like a cartoon unrolling his tongue, jaw dropped.
The drawback is that every kid with a riced out 10yr old Mazda 3 wants a piece of you. I usually let them go but once in a while I have a bit of fun right up to the limits of the law.

Les pires c'est ceux qui te conduisent une vieille poubelle genre une Camry ou justement Rav4 mais '97~2003 toutes les ailes rouillees a 2" du bumper arriere pour aucune fucking raison valable dans un quartier residentiel limite 40km/h.

La raison est que tu es lent. Tasse toi du chemin.
Tu me fais penser à un vieux livreur à ma job qui vient de s'acheter une corvette (pas neuve bien sûr) alors qu'il nous dit qu'on roule en fou à 40-50kmh sur les petites rues bossées et que lui passe là 20kmh pour pas maganer la suspension.
