It feels no different than a KA24DE car. A KA24DE is 75lbs heavier than a SR. If you add a turbo setup to KA you wind up at the same weight as the RB i.e. 150lbs heavier than a SR setup.
There is a difference with the RB though, a good 60 percent of the extra weight is actually in the transmission. So its actually a better front rear bias weight balance than a KA turbo car and with the engine set as far back as possible, you really are not putting much more weight over the front struts.
The people that have never experienced the setup like to think and even espouse the idea that its a problem. Its not. Car drives fine and there are several people drifting the cars here in socal and they have not had any problems with loosing cornering speed. In fact you have so much torque and power you can haul ass.
