On another matter, BMWeber is absolutely correct in his post.

I posted before about not rushing to the conclusion that a larger rear bar is the answer to this cars handling. My experience as an ex-racer and 10 year CCA and Audi instructor, and backed by TC Kline's set up suggestions on my 330 says that the big front bar and lack of a rear bar is better for getting the power down out of a corner. It also keeps the rotation slow and progressive, making the car really easy toi drive close to the limit.
always nice to get a little validation
