Have no idea were this theory of longer wheel base cars are harder to turn comes from. If it had any degree of supporting truth then most of the fastest cars in the world would have wheel bases simlar to a WRX or STI. Other then the fact that clever guys like your self can modify them to bring in some impressive number I would have to say as a off the shelf fasts car the STI's don't make the grade any more. Subaru has let every one else get on top of them. Hell what major races has Subaru STI or WRX won in recent times.
It not important who is right in this issue so it does matter. Over the next couple of years we will find out what handles better.
Sorry Matt for hi jacking the thread.
