so i got to drive a cobalt ss, cobalt ss supercharged and a corvette c6. it turns out i did well in the competition driving the cobalt ss and i was entered into the shootout to drive the corvette c6... I. DO. NOT. KNOW. HOW. TO. DRIVE. REAR. WHEEL. DRIVE. out of the 10 drivers entered into the shootout i was ranked 2nd... at the end of the shootout i think i was ranked last. ughhhh i drove faster in the cobalt ss (non-supercharged) than the corvette c6 on the same course (but at night, i suck at nighttime driving). so it turns out im pretty accustomed to fwd and i missed it while behind the wheel of the corvette... i hate paddle shifters too... k im done

slower in the turns ease it through the apex..really hammering it on the way out.. very differnt than FWD..

I find RWD more to my liking but I can drive both insanely fast hehe.

think RWD is bad enter a corner too fast with FWD and your screwed..You can enter faster though..try driving a non-awd porsche thats an experiance to get use to lol

thats brake hard in turn... go through turn with very very little gas... hammer that bitch full throttle on the way out. The weight over rears prevents fish tailing aka gain traction better. Porsches install a lot of confidence in this aspect and they can kill you.
