I've been running both cars with almost the same setup, same tires, only difference is 800 oil in the solid chassis car and 1000 in the WX chassis. My observation is that on medium traction asphalt, the WX generates more rear traction and ends up scrubbing the front tires more with much more understeer than the W chassis during off and on power situations. My laptimes with the W chassis are consistently .3 - .6 seconds faster given the same conditions.

Anybody experience the same? Is the WX chassis more biased for rear traction?

TIA!
in my testing, i always felt wx is slower than w...even laptimes show that..maybee my driving suit alittle stiffer lowerdeck.
