They will all just consist of cars spinning out of control as soon as the TC is turned off. Especially for anybody 16 to 24 years old that have not mastered the highly complex and challenging techniques of driving RWD. Or so I am told.

Coming from a fwd car(as many will) rwd does require more technique. Fwd/4wd/awd, it's point-and-shoot. Rwd deals with sliding and intertia. Those things that everyone learns in school but never thinks they'll use

Oh they are horrible to handle. Not sure how everybody managed to keep them on the road for much of automotive history. All those high powered sedans just sliding around every corner since the rear wheels just shoot out from under you. Awful.

Fwd cars are just old VW beetles and buses with the seats and steering wheel mounted backwards, four, five, or six reverse gears, only one really slow forward gear, and rear wheel steering.

Yes. The higher the compression before you boost the more power you will get. It is simple physics!

I read recently that a fish missing an eye is called a "fsh."

Hey!
I just got a GT86 and want to put 50K+ into it and make it fly.

I have no experience turning anything more than a TV on.
Is this how you make racecar?
