More power, or better weight distribution?

[blackie]

it depends on how much power the car is making in the first place..

if its already 400hp ill take balance..

if its a charade, ur f***d anyway, ill take the power

I've driven Skylines with coilovers etc on them (and most importantly HICAS removed) and for something with a big long iron I6 in the front they can really turn in and get around corners very nicely - definitely seem them scare cars with similar power and supposedly superior balanced chassis on a track, so one such beast with a whole bunch more power would be able just to make things that much more difficult for said superior balanced chassis

but ur skidline biased

ive got an R31. its handling is similar to a pak n save trolley, but it still rules so hard.

LOL. You don't know how far that is from the truth - just happens that (for some reason) I have a lot of exposure to them, and they're something with an ugly weight distribution I can draw experience from

Not to sure how much taking the piss or being a munter that purpose of your post was - but it nonetheless I'll clarify that what I said was more to do with how suspension setup can lessen the effect of front (or rear...) heavy cars, than saying that Skylines are vastly superior handling cars. If I wanted something as a track beast (and could afford to do it), I'd have an FD3S not an ECR33.
