Jazz as a Performance Vehicle?

[Gnat]

Yeah, the Jazz isn't fast at all in a straight line, but its very chuckable. A lot more fun in the twisties that I first expected. On top of the stock Jazz, if you add a bit of stiffening on the rear (rear strut between the C pillars), it handles very nicely

My Jazz is as fast as my 2000 NB MX5 through the Royal National park ( Sydney ) twisties ( believe it or not ). A slightly choppy surface lets the Jazz keep up with the MX5 in terms grip/corner speed. The 7 speed CVT is also quick and fun to flick up and down, making the most of modest torque and power. Fun!!!!!!!!!
