Yeah, thanks for being specific. I take the same lines in my 7 as i do the Accord, Accord enters faster and i can acclerate out of the turn sooner.
I get your opinion dude... I respect it but realistically it makes no sense. Every professional race car out there has a Front engine rear drive or mid engine rear drive because of an ability to take corners faster and better balance... Your FWD will understeer, a trait that RX7s don't exhibit..

Yeah, but how do they take turns differently etc. When i see RWD cars its usually dragging or some stupid redneck in a Bronco powersliding a corner and about to hit me.
one oversteers, one understeers so you have to apply and release the throttle or keep constant pressure on it and such according to the situation.



read howstuffworks or something they have bright shiny pictures for you.

Umm what model accord?



I can't believe your accord can take turns better than some 7....



The Integra/Prelude are the FWD kings...but you drove...an Accord.



Hey, I can argue this...why? I've driven the cars I am about to talk about!



My friend has a 96 Accord, I've taken it through the same twisties as a:



88 Mr2 NA 5-speed

91 Mr2 Turbo

92 Integra LS 5-speed



Of those 4 cars...the accord did the WORST. And rightly so, it's more of an everyday comfortable econo-car whereas Integra has some sporty "quirks".



Did you notice how the whole car tips like a bus at the slight turn of the wheel? I can't believe you could take turns better...did the 7 have tires on the rims or what?



I have yet to ride/drive a car that Beats my NA Mr2 in the twisties...but again have yet to drive many twistie-killers like an FC/FD , Miata, 240, etc etc.

well also it depends on the model of 240 now that i think about it. if its an S13, the coupe handles a shitload better than the hatch. it has a brace where the hatch part would go and the hatch doesnt have the mounts for it so you cant add it on without custom crap.

I wanna get stickier tires but i've been told to learno n street tires becuase you learn to appreciate grip better and you laern traction limits better.



Still, i have no clue why the previous owner bought freaking all-seasons.
