[QUOTE="SLVRF16, post: 3652527, member: 29070"] Let's not get insulting here, please. :rolleyes: In theory, you are correct. In practice you are far from correct for the average person, trying to sweat getting ahead of the next man, or being tailed by a car that's pushing them in the turns, is bound to make a mistake. This could be said for all RWD cars. Like you said, it would only be progressively if you progressively increased the throttle. So what's all the fuss? :shrug: You're kidding right? Better tire grip is a function of the tires purchased. :read: And this is a BIG problem on a road-course. Yeap. This is absolutely true. Now, how many Cobra drivers you see at the track lose it around the corners on a given track day? It basically takes a more patient driver to handle that much torque than it would someone driving the RX8. Yep. 1) it's whp is a lot lower than a Cobra's therefore you have more leway with the throttle inputs. 2) It's peak hp is reached really high in the upper rpms. 3) It's curve looks almost linear (we are assuming a constant positive slope).
