Too much power for touge?

as far as in the corners it's all in the handling setup and the tires. power doesn't come into play till you're exiting. and then the higher hp car would have the advantage.

id rather be in a 1000 hp car than a 100 hp car anyday.

yeah me 2

^ lol then what was the point of the post above?? lol

yep moar power

power is nice to have, but it can never replace skill, or lack of it. lol

with enough power you can pwn the lower hp cars.

you can buy skill but its expensive really expensive

only to a point. There becomes a point where you can't use all the power and then our back to having to try and make up for bad driving. Where the driver of the lower hp is much smoother and is not limited.

Granted you put a nice straight in the road and its all over for the slower car. Ah the joys of the mountain I did with some of the member off this board. After the second turn I was right back on the tail of the car in front of me but as soon as the rode opened up for more then a few car lengths and the gap was stupid crazy, and then repeat.

hows your car coming?

You guys will be easier to pass when you're in the ditch ...

I just say to look at Auto-X results guys ... power doesn't equal speed. In our region, it's a Miata or a CRX on street tires that usually takes FTD. Both are quite underpowered but are insanely nimble. When it comes to curves and tight courses, a lightweight car w/ low COG is king.

But, you still have to know how to drive it ...

or a red FD when he actually shows up

I don't remember Mahaffey getting FTD since I've been running. He is quick though ... again, light, low COG but with a little more power.

he's taken ftd numerous times, in a high speed course

i dont care if i win or not.

i stil rather have a 1000 hp car.

that be nice to have A 1000hp car but I'd rather have something more balanced...'cause balance is key

I'll just chime in and say we all need the driver mod ... more seat time will make ANY driver perform better in any car.

i'll let the high tech gadgets improve my skills since i cant improve nomore...

I'm glad I know you're not serious ...

Some people do it that way though and are successful. One of the young AMA (I think) Ducati riders has done very well this season under that exact principle. He just drives the hell out of the bike and lets the TC and such work out everything. He's won several times.

sometimes stupidity wins races...

not to mention other stuff in life.

yes this is true...you can see how much practice in video games helps, getting more real time on a given stretch of road/track is guaranteed to help your skills.

yup even pro's need the driver mod...

It's amazing how many people don't realize that though. It's funny ... the fast people know the importance of seat time, but the slow guys think they have reached their limits. Ignorance is bliss I guess.

yup...

That's why I play all my racing games in first person and in manual transmission lol

And why I drive as much as possible. In First Person view and manual transmission

unless you have a g25 its not really that close
