Handling was [Shotimes] RE: supercharging

[John Weidenbenner]

Yes, the ATX SHO and SLO will have slight understeer with the 24/26 combo.
That's different than a MTX SHO. Put a 22/26 combo in a street driven ATX
and sooner or later you'll end up backing into a ditch.

Autocross or track events may benefit with oversteer, but I don't want that
on my street driven FWD cars.
