Mental physics says a shorter car will do this better, but the difference in the 22 may be something else, such as the low cg with the big aluminum plate so low in the car.

Definitely interested to check it out though.
It's because the 22 is too long, and most people over-damp them. There are plenty of easy ways to get the 22 to turn great... box stock setup isn't one of them. But now matter how you trim it, it will never be as aggressive or agile as the B4.
