What does bother me is the big difference in high speed highway driving over 80mph and driving on roads that are uneven i.e. lots of swells and dips. On the highway the 2007 will just cruise with no sense of how fast I'm really going, the 2000 seems twitchy and less steady, not a good feeling at speeds like that. On the uneven roads the 2000 seems to be pulled and steered by every swell, just.
Both the improved steering and the reduced stability are symptoms of reduced toe-in in the front suspension. Many track cars are set-up this way intentionally to improve turn-in. On a track high speed stability is largely irrelevant. If you don't like it have the alignment set to the factory specs.
