I can take things right to the edge in my 185 which is something i didnt feel comfortable doing in an MR2, maybe because i like to power out of corners more than a RWD car would allow, i like a car that is point and shoot, and thats the 185 through and through. I must say driving an mr2 is something that takes alot longer to be able to push it to the limits than it would in a gt4, they are very differant cars, but yes as josh said once you get experienced in an MR2, it will walk over most other cars in the corners, not just GT4s, so don't feel bad In that last comment SilverGhost wrote on Fri, 19 August 2005 20:08 I can only assume that people who have experienced understeer in a 185 have entered a corner too quickly, overpowering the driven front wheels ability to turn the car, but the tried and true method of cornering an AWD vehicle is slow in-hard out, as opposed to a RWD car, fast in-easy out. awd slow in hard out, yes, normal rwd fast in easy out, yes, an mr2 is not your normal rwd, they can go fast in, fast out, because of their unique nature of all the weight infront of the rear wheels, physics say when you accelerate weight tranfers to the rear of the car, in the mr2 this puts alot more weight on the rear wheels than other cars, which in turn increases traction, and because it is rwd, it has the tendancy to get oversteer, this all adds to it shuffling around the corner very quickly, and you can keep power on all the way through. That said, I have never been beaten in a corner by a 4wd even when trying, GT4, WRX, never raced an evo, but I hope they would be a bit more of a challenge. although it is a bit differant to an sw20, the AW11 is not as commonly set up to understeer like the sw20 is, it is more neutral and even lighter still.
