Just a quick question
Does a fwd car have better cornering than a rwd car? Not including drifting Thanks |

Video is Up:
http://www.immorthao.com/videos/ NOTE: Miata is the 178hp Turbo version (2400 pounds). Elise is 190hp (~2000 pounds). RSX type-R (Integra Type-R) ~220hp (2600 pounds). Lancer Evo MR 286hp (3285 pounds). All cars are fairly even power to weight ratio-wise... except for maybe the Elise. Japan specs might be slightly different... but not far off. Video shows the overwhelming difference between more stable cars (FF/AWD) at low speed tight corners versus less stable cars (MR/FR). The first runs are pretty even because corners aren't very continous (slalom into a roundabout) but when they add a continous corner... the RWD advantage shows. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl...
