But anyways, the car belongs to AXIA Sports and the turbos are Garrett GT2835R. It's running around 800ps ... on an F-CON V PRO (See, I told you the big tuning isn't done on a Power FC, A'PEXi just jumped on the US market.)

There are some really good looking bays in here. I had no idea that so many people went to the 3 rotor configuration. Doesn't that screw up the weight distribution?

Yeah, but weight distribution isn't everything. 50/50 is ideal, but it only helps makes a car neutral in cornering. You can easily have a 50/50 weight balanced car with over or understeer because the suspension hasn't been set up properly. You can also compensate for weight imbalance by corner balancing the car with the suspension.

As I said, weight distribution isn't everything. Notice that the Viper doesn't have perfect 50/50 weight distribution, but has no trouble cornering...

Hehe, Porsche 911s typically have 35/65 weight ratio, yet I've never heard of them refered to as 'evil' handlers.

Actually the 911s do become evil when you lift throttle in a turn, but drive them with the gas pedal properly and they're sweat...

oops, I think we're off the subject!

Yeah ... I've needed those same parts since May. I thought I had them, oh ... OK, I've lost count at this point how many times people have lied or backed out on me. And people wonder why I don't like cars or 99.21 % of car people? You're one of the good ones, my friend.
