Considering the rotation point in front-engined cars IS abt. 2 feet ahead of
the drivers, maybe that's why I like the FE cars (like the Vertigo Streiff
and the C5-R) in GTR a lot better than the RE cars (like the Saleen and the
Porsches...altho, to be fair, the German wunderwagens are a lot like that in
real life: initial front-end washout followed by snap oversteer).
