As for my driving impressions...
On Road
(tested at "the ring")
Acceleration and braking were both top notch.
Handling was great.
Turn-in under braking was easy but still remained stable.
Control during corner exiting was ample with only a slight hint of understeer.
Approximately 7000rpm redline + full power = Awesome Sound!
This car is fully capable of making positive contributions to your GT Mode experience.
Off Road
(tested at "swiss alps")
I'm not a good rallier in the dirt.
However, the car felt like I would expect a million Cr rally car to feel.
Shifts were fast and there were no signs of unusual behavior. 👍
Arcade Mode
Stock-
321 hp/ 1230 kg
Quick tuned ranges-
256 hp - 386 hp
1107 kg - 1353 kg
(adjustable top speed is availible)
On Road
(tested at "Costa di Amalfi")
(tested under full quick tuned settings +20% hp/ -10% kg)
As if this were a mirrored image of the GT mode, the arcade car is a pleasure to drive.
Shifts are still fast and crisp just like a rally car should be.
Accel, handling, braking, turn-in... All of them are excellent.
The sound of this car's exhaust is one that I like.
This is definately a car I will drive again in arcade mode.
Off Road
(tested at "Chamonix")
(tested under stock power and weight settings)
As I said before, I'm bad with rally... that said...
On the snowy parts of the track this car was a perfectly tuned "fast twitch, easy sliding, short geared rally monster."
Not bad at all.
However, on the road, with snow tires and stock power...
Understeer became and issue and braking did not seem up to par.
This was some what frustrating because of my high expectations, but
a more thurough review should be made by a rally driver before any definitive remarks can be made.
My Conclusions
If you are on a budget there may be better cars to purchase. The price tag on this rallier is hefty. However, earning back your money should be possible due to this car's ability to run in several series, not to mention its ability to sweep the special events hall.
As an Evo fan this is a must have.
As a 4wd touring/rally car fan this is an excellent choice.
I suggest buying this car if money is not an issue, or if you are an Evo fan.
However, if you are not particularly an Evo fan and you are short on cash, the new Subaru Impreza Rally Car may be the better choice (similar performance, 750,000 Cr price tag).
It's up to you. 👍
Good luck in your choices, I hope this reply helps.
If I had $50k and was wondering whether I should buy a Vette now, or if I should save up another $30k for the NSX, what would your advice be? Go run the Sunday Cup 10 more times until I can afford a car that's no faster than the one I could buy now, and has less ultimate potential when fully tuned? The NSX isn't worth saving up for unless you really want one. I have quite a few, but I wouldn't buy one instead of a Vette if I could only afford one.
