Its pretty simple, I just like grip. I like taking corners fast too, only I'd rather the rear not slide out on me. I also like the way fat wheels look, sue me lol. If I was racing I would care about minor performance loss, but since Im just driving around normal places, i doubt having a little extra traction out back will suck the fun out of a boosted rwd sports car.
I'd bet $100 it'll pass the doughnut test!!

Or still going fast in limited grip situations like in winter on snow/ice, where even driving normally will reduce safety margin by a lot and understeer will show true colors. I wouldn't want to drive car that i bought for fun to drive as sedate as i had driven family haulers (or as slow as their heavy/less powered/rolling nature allowed) only because for unknown reasons when everybody said to not worsen handling by doing that but i would have done nevertheless. And paying own money for willing worsening to make car handle worse to be driveable only as generic ones at best to not hit kerb. I wonder if it's in spite to someone or if some local .. "specialist" has made you believe some fairy tales?  |
