you know i think the biggest misconception about the aw11 is its tail happiness.
when i got mine all and sundry said id spin it, crash it and it would be like a spinning top.
bollocks. i never had any issues in mine, sure when drivin with enthusiasim they can be a bit taily, but they certainy do not spin at the mearest provication. youd have to be trying rather hard to spin one..... imo harder than you should be trying on public roads.

Yea, thats true, what I'm saying though is that when the rear lets go in an AW, it will get out quicker than an FR such as the AE86.
Someone who is used to an AW will feel that when the tail goes out in an AE86, they'll have enough time to make a coffee and enjoy it before reaction is required! (GROSS over exaggeraion :P)
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

I can't say I've ever taken my AW on a track but I haven't found it too tail happy at all. Only problem I ever had was in the wet with bald tyres but that's to be expected.
