    I was looking to get a WHP of around 700 after tunning maybe more if possible.
    I guess it should not over-steer on under-steer.

    Not really I am actually trying to buy a car. I have no intentions of impressing people I will probably never meet in my life. Such things are only for fools with no lives. I was actually hoping to get some advice on cars (I don't know too much about them) I was hoping some of you guys who actually know more than me can help me by giving me some genuine advice.

    Kay..... if you say so. Dude heres some advice on for you... Think before you post. Its not that we all are A holes on IA, its just we dont like a dumbass that ask a stupid question... Now maybe if you had approached the question in a more serious manner people whould show a little "respect", but because you came out with an open thread that was useless in return we must bash it, but in reality we are only trying to help this thread to render usefull... just the jokes on you.. Im mean really i cant believe how many People ask this question and theres no problom but ... you killed it. We dont even know what the car is going to be used for wait YOU dont even know what your going to use it for Autox, drag, a weekend warrior? But because you arnt seriously serious! Neither are we... just stick to your SUV buy a box sit in it and dream on...

    When I say drivers I mean someone who knows how to work with cars.
    Okay then if you want it to be on a more serious and specific note since the open ended question did not really work.
    I will pose a more specific one.
    I am looking for a car that I can tune upto at least 700WHP.
    I will use it for drags.
    I will also use if for drifting to a small extent(only for fun to start with.)
    Maybe autox want to leave that option open.
    Is that descriptive enough?
    or is this comment useless as well.

    1) none of them were questions
    2) that was not specific at all
    3) you want to try to begin drifting in a 700 whp car? you have fun with that
    4) You can't really just tune up a car to 700whp... little more involved that that
    5) you want a car to drag and autox and drift? have fun with that setup
    6) you are new to actually driving cars, and you want to do all this? quit watching so much t.v.
    7) go get a cavalier and try drifting on top of a parking deck
    8) goodbye

    I am not new to driving cars....
    I know I will have to install mods in the car to get it up to 700 WHP.
    No I don't want to do all that hence I said that I will only drift for fun maybe not at all.
    I actually do not watch TV at all.
    and yes i fail i admit goodbye. Thanks for all your help guys.

AWD cars are more neutral in there handling and even dive a bit like a FWD car until pushed to there limit. The exception being the STi and new Evo X which you can control the amount of torque sent to the rear wheels, thus allowing the cars rear to rotate. The stock WRX's and Evo's will under steer all day long unless you chuck it into a turn hard enough to get a four wheel drift, at which point you can get the nose to tuck in with some trail breaking. Just from my experience. I'm sure other AWD cars have different handling dynamics, but generally under steer is the unwanted gremlin.

    Any car can be made to handle, a Civic can EASILY out handle a EVO and walk on it in the mountains with NO power. I agree about having a Civic on that list you sound like a 14 year old boy planning his first car.

    Nice catch. I did intend to type understeer, but I was thinking too many sentences ahead. My fault,

    Hell yeah.. EVOS=are horrible don't get it metros/mopeds can beat em. Skylines are gay,slow, and jdm stupid, and RX7 aren't real..... they are mythical creatures. Civic=Gawd they are da bestest car in da mofockin world the AWD rear wheel drive system uses both left and right tires to keep you droofting all long. Then you can throw on an double stacker APR wing and its and autoX beast On stock tires!!OMG!! Dont get me started on drag! man civics have V-tak and vtak makes horse power its better then all that other ****ty HP. *back to reality* Really man THINK be for you post you say the dumbest things ever.. If you really want to be serious you should of asked about each car,there trim lvls types of engine configuration platform,etc. Bottom line is its your car and if you really want to put "700" Hp to the ground that takes dedication but you cant even be detailed to what you want to start, 700 HP isn't over night so if your not dedicated to a simple post how dedicated are you going to be to your car?
