I am planning to get a 98mm GLA for the PN race in April. None of my 4 AWD chassis are capable of racing in the PN race, I have a GLA and BZ at 90mm, and an AMZ and SZ at 98mm. They all have their ups and downs, but I prefer the GLA build to the others. There is something about the steering on the GLA that just feels better to me, despite having fewer out of the box upgrades.

The BZ has potential to be the fastest in the group with the least torque steer. The transverse motor promotes more squat/longitudinal weight transfer on power. I have not really played with it enough yet to dial in the setup, but bench build vs bench build, I felt more dialed in with my 90mm GLA than my BZ. I think it could have to do with the ackermann in the steering rack. The BZ wasnt bad by any means, it just didnt quite have the steering feel that I was looking for. I used the same Porsche GT1 body with both (as there are few compatible 90mm bodies at this time).
