He means gotten the car REALLY out of control.
Icemark is 100% correct. The FCs have a fairly well designed suspension from the factory. It is certainly more confidence inspiring than most cars, but the driver's skill level will decided just how well it takes 90 degree corners and the like. The fact that you asked the question in the manner that you did raises a big red flag that you haven't been doing this very long. Get the car, find an SCCA club around your area and chase cones for a while. There will be some very nice people out there able to give you great advice on how to drive your car to it's limits. And check out Fred Puhn's book, how to drive Solo II or something like that. GREAT reading material.

The only NA's that didnt come with the t2 suspension were the base model NA's,.. aka the base, 89 gtu and 91 coupe,...gxl's, sport's, 88 gtu's, gtus's all came with the same suspension as the T2
