Oh yeah and bigger is better is most cases, doesnt mean its easier but then again it never is yea really that just two totally different realms To many different factors, such as fwd vs rwd, power differences, launching styles, you can even go as far as to factor in clutch engagement cuz his supras clutch is probably brutal. like I said its apples and oranges ---
