r33 do you/have you ever actually owned a gtr?
i do (r33) and you are wrong about the cornering bit.
you can apply increasing power once the car is sideways because the front wheels are also driving at this point and are literally pulling the car out of the corner/slide. The 4 wheel setup has been patented by nissan because it works so well. The aim is to have the car sideways coming out of the corner because undeersteer is not then a factor and 4 wheels driving out of the corner is the fastest way! the current porsche 911 turbo uses a very simillar system. you are right about the evo 6 system it too is very good, because of the yaw control, this will even brake an inside front wheel to assist turn in. the evo7 goes even further by separating drive between all wheels during cornering to where it can be best used.
