I must say that my experiences of driving the factory ARP4 have been very positive but perhaps the engine has loosened up somewhat with all its testing etc.
My only criticism was the handbrake not just the lack of power but the awkward...for me...position, but then I prefer the fly off type.

The Roadster is still the top car in the Trad range in my opinion. A super engine which can be quite docile in a nice lazy way but certainly wakes up when prodded! It would be nice, now that the ARP4s are finishing production, if the factory offered the ARP4 suspension and brake package as options. That would be the icing on the cake.
