I think you would be hard pressed to try to judge any of the cars mentioned without a back to back test on a multichanging terrain....

I was on the Jim Clark rally recently and one guy who runs a clubby wrc esc was trouncing evo's, hyundai wrc cars etc.

He has spent a lot of time tuning the esc suspension & pickups to make the car handle.

I sometimes think people think very powerful cars handle well and this sometimes aint the case...the blue norweign car is very impressive but does that mean it handle any better than any other well setup car? the active diffs will have little effect on a track...
