Hey, no argument regards auto-x events. R&P steering is ideal there.
But in the real world of cruddy, patched, rutted and pothole filled roads here in Cincinnati
a bit of isolation is a very good thing. Believe me, I've driven my friends high Hp front drivers with quick rack and pinion steering. Pretty neat on a smooth auto-x course but on the street the combination of torque steer and the kick-back from the road imperfections gets old real quick.

My Crossfire just goes where I point it regardless of road quality or weather.
Can't say that about many other short wheelbase rear wheel drive cars.

Cheers,

Slim
