Take your ferrari vs MINI to deer creek.

Only one out would be the MINI, calling a tow truck to pull the heavy italian out of the bottom of the ravine

I'll put it to rest since ur incapable of seeing things past ur delusion.... Its okay to admit ur wrong...TeamMightyMiniz..its okay.

Back to the topic:
FWD will always have its disadvantages, but in my opinion they're the best suited for exiting the apex.
Theres also AWD and RWD which are optimal in their own way, but none will beat the supreme corner carver: The Bike (aka motorcycle).

R2, you're commentary is always amusing.


I disagree with the motorcycle comment... only while this

exists.

In reality, I saw a MINI handily overtake an IS300 that had to slow down or spin out whilst the MINI just scooted on through a shallow turn as if nothing were up. The best part, the MINI driver was a spunky little girl while the IS driver was a hardcore aZn driver pRO. Ego bust! How's that for a reality check, eh?

Getting back on topic by making general statements isn't the greatest show of.. anything. How about... how would we make a tC into a competent canyon carver? Able to run rapidly through rising terrain across ravines and past the other riffraff out on the road. Oh dost the sky rain with the muses song, I feel poesy and spontaneity.

Anyways, it's funny how a Camaro guy comes and makes a thread that seems like it'd turn out to be a flame fest actually maintain relative civility for the first page and a half and then two people who are both tC guys in a tC forum have an argument about a MINI in a thread started by a Camaro guy.

If any of you have driven a RWD, you will realize how hard it is to control yourself in a high speed turn.

Someone had a thread on how the protege and the mazda 3 being rated as one of the best handling cars- they're both fwds.

I used to want a rwd car- when the D1GP craze was big. But now that i think about it, a fwd has its advantages in certain turns too! Our cars are nimble- it feeds on the fact that we use traction and not powersliding to do our quickest turns.

I'm not afraid to call out anyone to highway 74, and then to palomar mtn. If anyone wants to see what a tC can do, take S7 and S6 and you'll understand and appreciate your car just that much more.

U still that butt hurt about it C3P0 (a.k.a. TeamMightyMiniz)? U just don't stop yappin do U?.. It must suck representing Team Mighty Mini Pooper Scoopers ~ picking up that ****-n-all. I guess u needed support from ur pooper scooper family in order to call it a comeback. Stick to what ur best at: picking up other peoples **** & sucking on Mini F ags.

A mini cooper vs. IS300 isn't exactly the correct comparison unless u wanna rally
OH YA!.. Mini class is all pooper scoopers have..LoL!!! Its a better comparison when u matchup a mini with a what the mini people call F A G... cause they both luv to suck.

By the way: I was refering vehicles made from a factory, but if u really wanna go with that class, I don't mind taking a Formula 1 car against ur RC car. Its the same type comparison u were making with ur mini vs. everyother car anyways...

This thread has obviously lived well past any possible useful
life and degraded to juvenile taunts and exchanges.

Requiescat in pace
