Yes it does lope especially as it reaches operating temp, but after that it smoothes out. It idles a little higher than most right at 1000 rpm in park and about 800 in gear. As for the track all I can tell you is from the previous owner had a few passes on it. It ran a 11.5 at 119 on 22psi with a 5psi launch only a 1.8 60ft. I believe there is alot to be gained in 60ft along with a little more boost. I know it has more in it or atleast with the mods it should have when all is ironed out. I plan on going within a couple weeks still trying to dial in the Gen II along with some minor tuning issues. Overall the car runs great just trying to make it better.
