I'd love to see a RSX take a 90 Degree Corner at 80 MPH without squeaking the tires.
Isn't the fuss about FWD understeer, I think it's right.
FWD = Understeer
RWD = Oversteer

I dunno what you're smoking about the physics. I do plenty of 'sped up' driving (as do a lot of people here), including some driving in an RSX, 350 Z, and a whole lot of other cars in this game. The only thing I noticed is that with the tires they start you with, it's usually, TOO good. Also, the gears seem to be too long. . . .

i dunno how far into the game you all are, but right now I'm rolling an a-apec rx7 FD, and just raced against a "Mazda BP FALKEN RX-7 (D1GP) '03" it's one phat FC yea thats right FC. I can't wait to unlock it!
The more you progess through the game and get A-Spec points, the more cars become unlocked in the used sections. I've started to notice many many more RX-7's. For example. I have a 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 97 and 02 FD. There could be an FB in there yet.
dude, where's my torque?

I've had the D1GP FC for a while now. It's really ugly (the front and back wheels are two different colors for example) but it's better than most FDs. When you win it, it's already tuned for drifting.

what i mean is the steering in the game sucks; its like only turning the steering one half turn so you cant take ANY turns tightly which is totally unrealistic. and as far as my RSX, with the Eibach's and 235/45 R17 Pirelli's i can take a 180 deg. turn with no tire squeal

So it was lame enough that the best driving simulator ever to hit a game console didn't have the FB (I think it's some kind of red tape issue, there's no way Polyphony Digital actually WANTED to leave it out of the game), but today I saw an even more heinous blow to the rotary community. I was flipping throught the "Official GT4 Guide" made by Prima or Brady Games or something like that, and of course the first thing I did was flip to the Mazda section. The guide had limited space, so they only went into detail about the Miata and the RX-8. I quickly glanced over their specs and saw an "Engine Type" field. They had listed it as none other than a "ROTARY PISTON" engine. Just shoot me.

I'm onto the trail of an SA.
In the used wheel section, an SA rim (EXACT!) with the MA tag showed up around day 500ish. If the wheel is in the game, the car is in there, no?
There's also a Firebird (80's) rim in there (different day, though).
