ive had S3 rx7's and two ae86's now, the ae86's handle MUCH better then anything else ive driven, but handling isnt all about out right grip either its about how the car behaves and gives driver feedback.
Somone mentioned earlier on that the car was shit on the limits, errr right, i havent driven any other car that i can drive beyond its own limits on a winding road with such incredible road feed back and feel, understeering? back off and then apply throttle again (helps to have 2 way diff) Over steering? apply opposite lock and go along for the ride.
My car isnt stock, and ive finally got it handling damn nicely, thanks to my adjustable rear shocks i can have them on soft for excellent grip and then wind them up when i attend drift days. It weighs 890 kgs also. The steering feed back is incredible, if i ran over a 5 cent coin i'd be able to tell you which side it was faceing up.
the turn in is incredible, there is NO understeer whatso ever, the directness is lethal, and whats more, its still a pussy to drive on the highway.
now ive driven modded nissans, R33's, S13's, S15's and WRX's, a lot of mazda's with varying mods... and NOTHING comes close to being anywhere near as fun to drive in the winding roads then my ae86.... NOTHING!
i used to think my rx7 was a handling weapon with koni shocks, king springs, lowered, 17's. sure.. it handled and gripped ok but as soon as i got my modded hachi (the first one i had) i opened my eyes, i relaised that the steering was so shit on the rx7 (rotaing ball doesnt help) poor feed back, poor turn in, poor handling on the limt, poor handling while braking and cornering.
the ae86's, with mods, is a WEAPON of a car
can i have an amen?
