How's Our Cars Handling? - 6G Celicas Forums

40-50kph sounds like alot, but you gotta remember, a gt4 finishes 2nd gear really fast and hit 3rd gear off the apex of a sharp corner that would generally have you riding 2nd gear 60kph 4000rpm waiting for the opening to come up to "bwaaaaaaaarrr" for a minute before even getting past 80kph, but its that point before the apex where you would get understeer, it would be a split second between the gt4 riding 80kph and hitting 100 at the limiter and changing gear.

So you're right in a way too that it is more like 20kph, but in saying that, i haven't found the limits of the gt4 because i'm not a race driver and i dont intend to drive the car at levels which i dont know that im safe at.

Whereas in the FWD, theres not a whole lot you can do, you either go round the corner, or you understeer off the road, but the best you can do is put your foot down and hope for the best.

its the cars capability were discussing, not driver ability to master the various machines

What I'm doing right now is I always take the same corners and try to push a little more everyday. And so far the handling is great! Still haven't reached the cornering performance of the MSP
