That's pretty much what I've been finding so far. I
basically had to take a whole bunch of what
(little???) I had so far learned before the WRX, throw
it out and start learning again. Sometimes it's a bit
embarassing as it seems the fastest way to get through
a turn requires screaching the tires. If I try and
drive it smooth I lose 2 seconds. Also as James
mentioned due to the gearing and where the boost kicks
in you really have to anticipate what you're going to
do with your throttle. Going through a tight turn with
my last car I'd get down on the throttle at the same
time I started to unwind the wheel. With the WRX I
have to get on the throttle A LOT earlier (relatively
speaking). It sure is a blast to drive though after
the initial learning curve.
Cheers, Joe
