Why is it worth tuning these, and not just go with a north americano automobile?

94RS

No fucks given.
The ITR was the best handling FWD car in the world, not the best overall handling in the world....

s***head??? you must be a girl, cause of the uncontrolled insults that spew out your mouth and in other posts i just kept quiet about.

and that is exactly why it has great control, that same wheels youre steering with are the same ones receiving the power, which is why the turn into corners great. not that its a bad thing. why do you think the integra type r was reviewed as the best handling car in the world...? being a fwd. thanks for the "s***head" im sure you wont even take it into consideration. im out! peace!

The ITR was/is the best handling *FWD* car in the world. RWD cars constantly shit on FWD. That's just life.

The issue is that the FF platform creates a false sense of driver skill because it's pretty easy to drive at its limit vs FR actually taking a degree of skill to drive.

Hehe, unrustle your jimmies, young man.
You need to review your whole line of reasoning. It's called power-on-understeer, which makes it more difficult to throttle out of a corner, lil guy. I figure Forza probably never taught you that, so you're welcome.

Fwd sucks in corners. My car probably has 70/30 - 75/25 weight distribution and it weighs about the same as an NC1 miata. They put down roughly the same. Mine with 177whp and the nc at 160bhp. I feel "safer" and more confident in my car doing x turn. But the same turn I can drive it faster in the nc with less effort. And shit! I can go even faster in a legacy outback.

Driving in RWD feels like handling a wild horse to me... you can either spin out of control and slide really easily and lose traction or learn how to handle the oversteer and slippage to your advantage. So Drevans was right about that, it takes true driving skill to handle an FR/RWD.. but if you learn how to handle it, you can use its drifting aspect slightly to correct steer and turn better into a turn carrying sufficient speed, but its so tricky, one small miscalculation, and too much speed and you can spin out of control like nobody's business.

No...not really. You just need to know how to drive. Period. Drove my NC at auto x for the first time and drove it exactly like my integra. Didnt spin. You can spin easily and make the car unhappy if you dont heel toe. Really anything other than that its pretty much the same IMO. A neutrally handling car will not oversteer. And, most cars are tuned to understeer anyways.

Depends on the driver. There's a guy at all the autocrosses I go to that has one and he constantly shits on the RWD competition. Everyone always comments how fantastic his driving is because those GT500s are not easy to track
