Comparing the two cars?
Altezza has the faster pickup. Its gear range is very short, and since its 6 gear-ed, the pickup is faster. For GDB, its gears are more evenly spread out. But Altezza wins pickup over to GDB. But loses out top speed to the GDB. The GDB can drag its gears while the Altezza can't.
Since Altezza is a FR car, it can't play wet and snow effectively. And since GDB is 4WD, GDB can tackle wet and snow better than Altezza, but not saying its good for wet. Its pretty slick too.
Since the Altezza is kinda drifty and slick, this setup is good for moderate to long corner sweeping courses. And with its short gear range and non turbo, it can corner pretty well on dry. GDB has a little difficulty here. Since Altezza can play with its gears easily, GDB has to rely on dragging the gear slightly longer. Well it actually depends on how fast the driver is going and such.
Altezza is good on Shomaru, Akina, possibly Akagi too. GDB can play all the maps, while Altezza is kinda stuck to few maps that the GDB can handle. -
For version 3, the pick-up sometimes depends on the track. For example, GDB will beat even S15 off the line at Iro and Akagi, but loses at launch at Akina and Usui. The GDB will also give the Altezza a run for it's money at start-up on Iro. But for most other tracks, the Altezza beats the GDB at pick-up.

Okay. Comparing the corners like Irohazaka. Irohazaka is short stubby hairpins. Akagi has long sweeping corners. Akina is somewhere in the centre. Not too sharp, not too sweeping. Just perfect. Drifty cars like Roadsters, Altezza, FC3S all can perform pretty well on Akina. While cars with grip setup perform well for maps like Irohazaka.
Playing with the gears refers to more extensive usage of the gears. Since you got 6 gears, you've got plenty of speed and turning to play with. You can select a high end Gear 4 or a low end Gear 5 corner, up to your preference. See if you wanna push the car or so then try using a higher gear since you got 6. If its too much under, then switch to a lower gear to corner.
Well, I'm not very good with pickups. But I know HIRA is mad over such things. Basically there's alot of pickups. But it really depends on your opponent. There's no best pickup. You can do a lousy pickup and your opponent does an even worse one. You still win. Depends if your opponent wants to win your pickup with 2nd gear or drag his 4th gear or so on to win you. Then you shift accordingly to match his pickup and counter his win...
Hope that helps. -
thanks HaYasHiBaRa
btw... is grip cars = 4wd cars?
not very sure about tis... so u mean drifty cars can play well in akagi n akina ar? haven use my altezza play one akina yet... one day free i try -
