Simply not interested in less Power been there done that, if you believe that having more Power makes your car slower you are badly mistaken, all my conversions have made my car quicker wherever they are, driving changes have to be made for sure, but please dont kid yourself you would keep up you would get destroyed by a very large margin. You have obviously driven my car so know its a pig, funny how people with relatively little Power always know how a big Powered car will drive, fact is they dont.

Chip, i agree and disagree if that makes sense..
yes what Mark and co have done with/to Rods saff is a great achievement, but where and how could 745/575lb/ft really be used as a road car?? i'm pretty sure it'd be a pig to drive, i'm not talking about lag either, just general power terms.
I've always thought a PROPER stage 3 cossie is just dead on for a road car imo, nice strong 360/360 is a good package and tbh there's not that many cars that'd trouble you, Evos, odd scooby etc.
Just my 2 penneth..

While it wont quite drive like a T3 road car it will still drive very well other than the sharp clutch,
Is it worth driving a car with that much power and that amount of money thrown at it, I am sure those who have it and the odd moment where you find a open road or track the answer is hell yes

Mark,
I understand what you're saying fully, of course it must be mental to drive, but i was just putting my point accross i wouldn't of thought with ALL that power it made/makes for the best of road cars, Rod just misread i think.
I call a road car something that'll eat b-roads too, not just straights and you i'm sure understand when i mentioned the Evo.
Rods car, most big power 2wd cossies will find it VERY difficult to live with a 400 bhp Evo on these roads don't you agree Mark??
To reiterate, THIS WASN'T A DIG @ ROD, OR HIS CAR...
OH, and the PIG part mentioned, was pig to drive with that much power, maybe you'll take me out in it Mark next time??

and tbh, if you ask me whether i would have a cossie or an evo, well thats easy, do i want to drive the car, or do i want to be driven.
Where is the fun in having a computer doing the driving for you, go buy an xbox.

All AYC is is an active rear diff (ie torque bias side to side at the rear, like v-spec skyline GTRs and thousands of other cars).
Thats like saying a Focus RS drives itself as its got a fucking ATB diff

You have got to be some kind of retard to REALLY believe any of these cars, Evos, Skylines, anything, with fancy electrics REALLY do any of the driving for you

And the difference is, you dont feel detached from the drive, imo
