Despite how powerslidy he may be that one really needs grip to be at his best. Of course a bit of tailwaving is fine
Then you compare it to a tottaly different drive, the ctr2 (sport, I hope).
This car has to be one of the few where non-grip driving can be equally or - dare I say - ,in some cases, even more effective than regular driving. I´ve had corners where the understeer kept me at low speeds then out of frustration in the following pass I would turn while slamming the brakes - we all now where that gets us - then accel hard and countersteer. The speed would be much better.
The thing is that there is great understeer in the car, even when you´re not going for grip drive. The ctr2 exibits a different slidy kind of driving. While most cars tend to point to the inside of the corner and getting really tailhappy when loosing grip the ctr2 (or turbo r for that matter) tend to go sideways instead. All this to say they are very different.
The driving of the zzII requires some attention and can´t be so reckless but it is a fast car. Other aspects concern the hp. This is one of them overachivers. With only 588 this car sends the dust to most high-powerd cars. In that area the ctr2 is a no go.
My conclusions:
zzII - good cornering abilities. Slow turns and hard long braking distances require some skill and care and excessive non-grip driving will be punished. Excels at speed.
ctr2 - good yet different cornering abilities. Hairpins and junkyard-friendly manouvers are welcome, while faster longer corners can be a problem due to understeer issues. Good speed but not as good. The off the line start however will leave the zzII miles behind.
All in all mentaly reviewing the vehicles I´d say it´s a good battle with maybe some advantage to the zzII but that requires some testing.
