[QUOTE="Redd, post: 100899, member: 200"] 50:50 is marketing hype. the much admired porsches have nowhere near 50:50 weight distribution and they're still quite quick, aren't they? there are 2 kinds of drivers in the world: 1) the guys who cant drive and rely on 50:50 la, 4WD la, traction control la, yaw control la, launch control la, whatever control la, to do the work for them. these guys need all the help they can get so, yah, they latch on to any technological advantage they have. 2) guys who can drive who can go quick even in a 20-yr old pile of junk. FWD/RWD/4WD doesnt matter. who needs traction/yaw/launch control? oversteer or understeer? drive around it! which are u? yep, someone's next gonna say "but 50:50 will give u that added edge, those precious milliseconds, that will make the diff between winning and losing". guys, how many of u drive so close to the edge that those milliseconds matter? ive never seen a traffic light drag or a highway battle decided by a nose. even at the track winners and losers are separated by car lengths, not milliseconds, at our level. sorry, but im old school. im the sorta guy who will drool at a pushrod funny car with zero electronics which will decimate the quartermile in 4 seconds flat, versus some pumped up tokyo taxi on steroids with enough computing power to predict the end of the world but cant hold its own out there on the strip. technology is just a means to an end. its the results that matter most. redd [/QUOTE]
