Couldn't agree more.
That's exactly what I have found myself - I don't feel as if I struggle for drive but with the set up I enjoy driving, the car certainly seems to carry a lot of corner speed so I maybe don't need to hit the throttle very hard
In fact, at a recent regional on grass (you know - that natural astroturf stuff that doesn't last as long as the green grocers stuff), I found that as the grip deteriorated, my pace out of the corners increased in comparison with some other mid cars.
Personally, I believe it comes down to driving style and preference. Some drivers prefer the car to feel more locked in as it gives them confidence to push whereas others maybe take a subtly different line or style which enables them to drive a setup that others find undriveable.
@Bob-Zahn - If you are on carpet with Schumacher yellow mini pins, I would be looking for a weight bias of 37/63 an experiment with adding weight upto 1700g. Higher than 1700 and the car does feel as if it slaps through the travel too quickly - but too light and it can feel really hard to hang onto. Just be aware that as you add weight under the LiPo, it will alter the weight bias very fractionally.
Also, don't just think of adding weight longitudinally - where you place it laterally will also affect the handling - some may like it whilst others may not. Personally - I do - but as I've said before - my driving style and setups are not to everyone's taste but this year - comparitively to my peers, I am 0.5s a lap faster with the 22 than I was with my last year's car.
So I'm happy
