My old JRSC EP3 Type R was quicker than my stage 2+ S3 above 70-80 but trying to put the power down in 1st 2nd 3rd in anything but perfect conditions was a nightmare. Real world the S3 is way better, this is the first 4wd car i have owned, and it would be hard to go back to RWD or FWD now.
This sounds extremely weird given the mid range ability of stage 2+.... and given the EP3's figures...... even in perfect cond a standard EP3 would not stand a chance from start against a stage 1 8P - can you explain how this could be?
