Swampy442 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 In normal driving i.e. round town, commuting etc, no its not. Only when you start pushing it do the differences show. As for control, how heavy is your right foot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 [helpful Red] Driving a powerful RWD car in the wet is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman....No hang on! Erm... driving a powerful RWD car like the Supra (but not an NA Supra) is actually pretty easy and usually trouble-free. With good tyres and sensible sized wheels (I prefer the stock 17s myself but YMMV) you can drive as fast as other cars in the wet and not worry about it. If you drive with a digital right foot then you WILL have hairy moments. Take it easy. Get a feel for how and when the turbos kick in under differing driving conditions and drive smoothly. [/helpful Red] If you really want piece of mind, get RLTC. With a strict wet setting you will feel the unit kicking in. Get a feel for that because that is RL telling you that you are driving too fast already. Above all though you need the maturity to reign yourself in when the weather is bad. Yes, you may get 'beaten' by a chav in an old Beemer but you won't wind up in the hedgerow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Oh...and before the Supra I had a 1.6 Volvo tank thing. I moved up to the Supra with no trouble at all except when it WAS MY FAULT! 1. I gave it too many beans crossing turning righ out of a side junction and got a bit wobbly. I was near a petrol station so the Diesel Factor affords me an excuse rating of +5. 2. I forgot how much wider the car is where you can't see it and clipped a flower basket on the wall in our driveway. 2mph tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
