Read it? Heck I was the one who suggested stickifying it 
That thread deals more with the how-to's of getting into AutoX though I'll read through it again to see if I'm being redundant. What I was looking for is moreso collective open brainstorming as to the handling characteristics of the Edge 6er specifically, and what experience has taught y'all about them.
...that's right...I used y'all in a sentence...I've been in the south way too long.

There's an autocross sticky that you may want to read. Wheras Jthorn never autocrossed I did. The real key is to stiffen up the car. Strut brace, a GT rear sway bar and subframe connectors are the real key. Then power.
EDIT~
6ers don't come with rear sway bars, but they do come with front ones. If you want to upgrade, at the very minimal I recommend replacing the front bar bushings and end links with neoprene.

I'm from the deep south and I rarely use yall, I'm more prone to proper speech by not being lazy and saying you all.

The only real bad(and it's not that bad) characteristic is when you go to turn REAL sharp, it will push in the tight turns. Understeer. But with good tires, and stiffening the car as I suggested, that understeer will be minimalized.

Now, help me here, do thicker/stiffer sway bars out back increase a car's tendancy to oversteer or understeer? Never been quite clear on that.

Oh yeah? Well I'm in the south AND in the Infantry. Being infantry has been proven to lower your IQ by atleast 2 points every 4-6 months. It's not laziness...it's efficiency!
