That is just my impression, but maybe my brain is biased because that is how I would expect a rear-weight-bias car to behave. All I know is that I also have a GT500 with over 750 rwhp and the same F1 supercar tires as my GT came with, and even with the upgraded Bridgestone tires on my GT, the tail end of my GT whips around ferociously once traction is lost, compared to my GT500, or any of my other cars too, for that matter. Just my $.02
