[QUOTE="DingChavez, post: 103464, member: 791"] thank you for noting my kupang. you forgot to notice my kerang smooth roads... i'd say almost equal, maybe the 'upgraded' one will be slightly in front. bumpy roads... no challenge, the standard will win hands down. [SIZE=3][b]why???[/b][/SIZE] smooth roads: the upgraded one can take the corners at slightly higher speed than the stock because of higher grip from the race spec tyres and better traction as the suspension will keep all four tyres in firm contact with the ground but will slightly lose out on acceleration as it is using higher rolling resistance tyres. bumpy roads: the upgraded one will have less pliancy and less suspension travel hence the car will break traction as tyres wont be in contact with the ground. less contact means less traction means less corner speed. the stock car can still corner at speed almost equivalent to the smooth roads scenario as the suspension has the travel to keep tyres in contact with the road ie no loss off traction... and back to the main question... in the first scenario granted the upgraded car will be slightly faster [b]but will it handle better???[/b] does handling means you can corner better, faster only? or does it means that your car corners better and faster while still retaining comfort? the answer lies in your perception of handling.... my 2 kupang and [i][b]kerang[/b][/i] [/QUOTE]
