actually ive seen some high powered rwd cars beat some evo8's on a wet track with the rain pissing down
as for gtir's they are ok for the pocket racer but as soon as u start pushing it hard things start to break. my mate owns one and has gone through a clutch n 2 gearboxes since owning it over the last 2 yrs n he shifts like a grandma
another mate bought one 2 months ago n hes already trying to sell it
