IIRC the Hicas was removed on the GrpA GTRs and almost ALL nissan track/drift cars ive seen have had it locked or removed as the drivers DONT like how it drives with it fitted.
Ive NEVER read anything bad about HICAS in magazines as the writers generally know nothing but the reasoning behind it, they have no experience or knowlege of cars.
And straight line its obv youd bin it, but i said HANDLING, not straight line.
