The bit that really surprises me, despite my lack of personal experience, is the suggestion that a GT-R is a difficult car to get round corners. My understanding was that it's full of trickery to make it very easy to drive round corners. What am I missing?

You are missing nothing.

When the trickery keeps you on the bend at every reasonable situation, you cannot isolate the effects of the electronics from the effectiveness of your own driving style.

Nevertheless, I believe we should be a bit more patient with our new member, even though the answers to his main question (being, "how to corner") had already been answered ad nauseam.

5star, look at it empirically. You can see quite a prononced body angle at slow manuevering. You can observe how little your inputs effect it. As to how it effects it, to the little degree that it does, refer to Dave's first post in the thread.


The best advice is not to argue with someone's specialist subject. Not that it stops me. :wink:
