Subaru Legacy B4 Blitzen '00
Low Speed Corner:
Entry: Very stable but does understeer on the brakes, a little unwilling to rotate at times
Mid: A ton of grip, feels a little heavy but it doesn't cause any major problems
Exit: No drama, just grips and goes
Comments: You need to be careful on entry because the car is so stable that understeer will develop if you try and push too hard, once you have figured out your entry speed and turning point its fine and extremely predictable.
Mid Speed Corner:
Entry: A little bit of understeer but nothing unusual or unmanageable
Mid: Great grip, holds its line well and remains progressive
Exit: No drama, stays stable under acceleration and gets the power down well
Comments: Feels fairly good in mid speed bends, nice and balanced, a little bit of understeer on entry but that is to be expected with most 4wd's. If you can be progressive with the power it keeps the nose pointed where you want it and doesn't drag wide.
High Speed Corner
Entry: No real problems, hint of understeer
Mid: Plenty of grip and holds line well
Exit: No drama, just grips and goes, can develop a little more understeer if you push too hard
Comments: Nothing to say here really, the car performs well without any difficulties or surprises but can show its weight if you try to carry too much speed through a bend.
Tune Comments: Overall its a very stable and easy to drive car, rarely does anything to surprise, just grips and goes. For me it felt a little too stable which prevented me pushing any harder, it suits a very clean and clinical style of driving and would be good for long races but don't expect this thing to be lighting up the timing screens on a hot lap.
I think the differentials are causing a few of the understeer problems, I ran it with the stock diff for comparison and it felt a lot livelier and easier to push. The suspension feels spot on though, I was expecting more understeer but it felt pretty nimble.
