JustHatched 12,103 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I haven't messed with either much, but do have both. I am wondering for Rally Racing in general are the comparable to each other.

bullittblitz 148 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Futo always seemed faster and more agile.. Not sure which one corners better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidCore89 7,402 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) I wouldn't drive the Futo on dirt, it's RWD and has the grip of a greased up toad on a windshield, you'll be corkscrewing through the ground and you'll be seeing Rev down under As the Sultan is 4WD and heavily based on a World Rally Championship Subaru Impreza it's the obvious choice for a rally race. I can't keep the Futo straight on the road never mind dirt. Sultan will out perform the Futo in any situation IMO.

handcuff_charlie 801 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Given equal drivers, Sultan should aways beat Futo. I thought it was weird that part of the customization options for the Futo was a rally-style lightbank....I may have to throw a set of off-road tires on mine just to see. The Futo is ridiculously tail-happy. The Sultan seems like a normal car, but just slower than its class-mates. I race my Futo in normal races just to demoralize the one or two people I manage to finish ahead of. 1 Quote "handcuff, should I join XDBX?"

DavidCore89 7,402 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 The rally lights on the Futo confused me too, I know in the 80's RWD cars such as the Lancia Stratos were used in World Rally Championship - Futo is an 80's car? If so that is my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so that is my guess. I think up until Audi came along with the 5000, and maybe Porsche entered the 959 into the Paris-Dakar rally, pretty much all entries were either fwd or rwd...There simply was no market for awd passenger cars prior given the nature of the technology back then limited it to larger vehicles like trucks.
