yes, eventually it'll get painted but that's a ways down on the priority list. graphics will definitely happen though, i just need to get it done.
i've driven a couple mitsu EVOs on the track - an EVO VI Makinen (a private import, that's before they were legal here) on R tires and an EVO VIII on street rubber. both were quite fun, Makinen especially. EVOs are set up to drift around corners and they do it very well. you can do loooong controlled powerslides, just pitch it in with a flick of the wheel and then opposite lock and steer on the throttle. i almost bought an EVO actually but then decided the mini was more my style.
also drove a student's 996 C4 on street tires - big, fat and soft. didn't care for it much.
the dp1 proto doesn't really behave like an awd car. it's pretty neutral, very steerable with throttle (lift and the tail rotates, push and the nose runs a little wide but nothing you'd call understeer). you can apply power very early in turns, much earlier than i've been doing so far.
of course the production drivetrain is different, replacing the prototype's quaife center diff with a proprietary setup so we'll see how that behaves.
) which is still pretty damned close (only 0.7% left-heavy). maybe schumacher can tell that kind of difference but i know i won't be able to.
