They have absolutely no grip at the front. Push even moderately hard and they understeer.
By the time you *can* get on the power in a WRX, the S15 and JZA80 would be in the distance because they would have started putting down their power way beforehand.

There's a reason I used the word 'traction'...handling, traction and grip are all slightly different things, you are bitching about the cars handling (suspension related), and it's grip (tyre related) however I was praising neither of them...I'm saying it gets it's power down on the ground without slipping WAY better than the other two because it's AWD and the others are RWD (a result of the tractive effort being more evenly distributed amond the fours wheels and tyre grip). Try driving each of them in the wet and you'll see what I mean! Personally I find that the WRX is not as bad an 'understeerer' as people say, it's a bit of a myth, I've heard the 'understeer' in a WRX being compared to the kind of understeer you get in stock JZAs - it's just JZAs aren't as big flamebait as WRXs. Sure you can oversteer a JZA really nicely - but that's more than likely just a result of not pushing the front end hard enough through the corner and hence who is to say which one comes out faster at the start of the straight bits Smile

I must stress though that I haven't driven a JZA so you can COMPLETELY ignore that last part if you so wish, it's only what I've heard.
