TBH I was primeraly refering to everyday road use. Very different from track of course.
TBH Scoobys are not very good examples of decent track cars, they are not inherantly set up as such, with the possible exception of a Spec C RA or perhaps a P1, Ver 5 RA....It is well known that standard STI's and WRX understeer waaay to much to be effective track cars. Though of course this is to do with the chassis and kind of diffs and how they distribute power. Having said that the new cars are better due to the adjustable diffs.
The CTR of course was developed on track as well as the road which is why it allways does so well in these kinds of comparisons. I do agree that they can, with a few well chosen mods really embarass much better machines on track. But then any well sorted and well driven car can, just ask Matt in his standard 1.6 Mitsi Colt, and the M3's and STI's he managed to get Blue Flagged at a recent track day :lol: :lol:
Sorry I am digressing a bit
. For me the advantage of the JRSC on the FWD car is simply one of throttle control. It fully retains the precise imputs of an N/A car, making my CTR feel more like it has an extra ltr or couple of cylinders. And whilst I again agree that it is better to take it easy in the wet, whatever you drive, it is nice to know you can still get the power down without boost suddenly chiming in or out and spoiling the party. If you know what I mean.
