Rear wheel steering or torque vectoring?
 
any mention of those things?

I’ve got rear wheel steering on my John Deere lawn tractor and it cuts the turning radius damn near in half!

Yea wasn't sure if it was mentioned or maybe for the z06/gs?

The 911's use it.. The AMG GT's use it.. Just curious

I bet they will save these options for the next Z06!

Why add more nannies?

KISS, keep it simple, a bit of trail braking if necessary should be plenty to get the car to rotate on corner entry (not extended trail braking like a FR/FAWD car) and the E-Diff should be plenty on the C8 to assist putting down power. (the C8 IS a mid-engine car after all).

RAS is needed on a 911 because of the nature of the car been rear end heavy. Not sure if the OP has any experience with MR cars at the track, but I recall that he was on NAGTROC so maybe used to FR or FAWD cars.

Torque vectoring drags the brakes, RAS is electro mechanical and both rely on computers. Both are not ideal on a track oriented car (regardless of what PAG or anyone else wants to tell you).

Hey, yup had a gtr for almost 3 years ;) I did also track a Lotus exige S (mid engine rwd) and a Boxster spyder (mid engine rwd) for several years also.. Last few cars include three different corvettes.

I did get to drive a Mercedes AMG GTR a few times for my work.. And the rear wheel steering made it feel much more agile than past AMG gts's I drove. Could have had other factors at play also.

It's not a needed, just curious
