Why is there this obssession with 4WD?
I can't think of any great track car with 4WD, with the possible exception of the muscle-bound Skyline.
The 911 x 4 is probably less incompetent than the x 2, but that's what makes the x 2 such a great driver's car.
A CTR should use lightness and cleverness for performance, not weigh more than the universe.
The very good news is, some 4WS remains: some angles reveal that rear track control links exist, similar to those on the US Si Coupe.
It appears they've ditched the torsion beam of the 5-door.
Honda haven't yet sold out completely.

And the growing delusion that you are a driving god, which is nothing to do with all the technology under and around you
Because you always turn it off

I agree proper racing cars are RWD.

Any more than 200 BHP through the front wheels is a bit ridiculous, I agree.
The answer is lose weight, not gain more! I've seem how fast round a track an EE Civic with 150bhp is capable of going. It was amazing.
Still trashed the front tyres though!
