Notes:
As you can see I have taken this setup down. So why, then, did I not just delete this page? Because this car is incredible. Second only to the Hyundai Coupe. This FTO is faster than the Hyundai, but the Hyundai feels more refined. There's a sort of grace to driving the Coupe, where as the FTO is like a primitive reptile thrashing about to break its prey's neck. What both these cars prove is that FWD cars can be just as at home on the track as RWD cars. They also prove that they can be more fun than RWD cars and here's why: so many modern RWD cars just are too easy to drive. Take the 350z for example. It is fast but it'll let you overstep the limit all day and never try to kill you. This FTO feels more exciting, it doesn't like being taken past the limit, but if you happen to go too far you suddenly get a reminder that this is a FWD and everything is going to be okay. So it won't have your head for a mistake, but it won't hold your hand the whole time either. This car is worth driving, and above are just a few things needed to make it competitive.
