Skidpad. I made a bet with a friend that the RWD 2002 LS1 Trans Am, handles better than the AWD 94 Mitsubishi 3KGT VR-4, on the skidpad..
Am i flat-out wrong or is there any way to prove this? i was pretty sure that the vr-4 handled like .88 or something and the t/a did .91...i dunno..can anyone help?

Usually the all AWD cars can do bettter but being an older AWD car you might have a chance. I guess you could find a big open area and setup something where you do 50 mph or so and see how close of a circle at that speed you could do in that area and take turns to see who can me that turn smaller. Don't know.

According to this site: http://www.fast-autos.net/makes.html
your wrong by 0.01Gs
The 3000GT has AWD, which I would think would make it understeer when pushed, while the T/A will oversteer. But the 3000GT has AWS (all wheel steering) something that many people dont know about. Just like in some of the GM trucks, the rear wheels turn on the 3000GT, but its only slightly. That probably gives that boat an advantage in the skidpad.
EDIT: no big deal your car slaloms faster, and plus should have no problem beating him on the track, where it counts.
