There goes your handling. Do you even have a rough idea of what a 2JZ+getrag V-160 weighs? Its around 750lbs.
Its a lot harder to make a car significantly faster in a straight line WHILE retaining or slightly improving the original handling than it is to make a car handle better while moderately improving acceleration. After all, going fast in a straight line requires certain things out of the suspension in itself. Suspension is a compromise. The only way you can do it without compromising is to make the car handle like its on rails and be slow or make it hook and go fast but turn like a boat. Everything in the middle is a compromise. The mustang is a compromise. Its hooking up more power. The brz is much less of a compromise from an engineering standpoint. No, that isnt a compliment. If you think it is read this post again until you get it.
