rear wheel drive

Re: rear wheel drive

400HP says I can do an AWD burnout! And while RWD is fun, something about cutting 1.7 second 60' times at the track is addicting!

RWDs can cut amazing 60ft times, you just need wide and sticky tires. The good thing about AWD is that you can make that same 60ft time on the street while the RWD will be spinning tires.

AWDs can't do burnouts? I beg to differ

Good Afternoon,

I never had a like or dislike for either until...

I was driving my first FWD during the winter. I really got a great appreciation for FWD then.

But, when you have an empty, snow-covered parking lot, I and my children like RWD...donuts.

You can have just as much fun with FWD. Turn the steering wheel all the way in one direction, put the car in reverse, and stand on the gas. My Z-24 I had in high school would sit and rotate on its back tires.

As soon as I get my new rear end... the front wheels are coming off the ground. I gaurantee it.

12 bolt or 9 inch?

I'll be the first to step up and admit that I love my FWD cars. Yes, the torque steer and wheel hop *****, but there's ways to eliminate that, like playing around with the motor mounts. I race my Spec V a ton, and I like how I am not all over the road like most of the RWD cars I've raced with (drag racing for those who are curious). Not to mention that I have always lived in snowy, horrible climates (Wyoming for 22 years) and I loved driving a FWD. And mostly, it's just fun to be apart from the crowd

I love my RWD (G35 6MT Coupe) for sport, and my AWD Outback for daily driving, especially when the rain and snow get fierce.

Never enjoyed any FWD cars, and I've had many.

I don't like AWD for the reason you can't do burnouts

lol i have seen a little STi that disagrees

[indigo s10]

I'll take a rear driver any day. I don't like torque steer. Granted, I love front drive when there is 8 inches of snow on the ground, but around here that only happens 2 or 3 times a year. I like to do smokey burnouts too.

While you can’t judge a car simply by it’s drive layout, all else being equal I would suggest that rear wheel drive is preferable for superior handling and “go fast fun.”

The physics may be arguable but lets look at some “empirical data”:

Manufacturers’ choices:
RWD: Ferrari (all), Lotus (almost all), Porsche (all but the AWD), Jaguar (all but the AWD) , Mercedes (all but the AWD), Maserati (all), Aston Martin (all).
FRD: everybody’s econoboxes, most companies’mid range, a few companies’ upper tier cars.

Models within a manufacturer’s range:
RWD: Honda NSX, Toyota Supra, Ford GT, Chevy Corvette
FRD: Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Ford Taurus, Chevy Malibu

Racing cars, designed from the ground up for speed and nothing but:
RWD: Formula 1, Champcar, IRL, Sports Prototypes (Le Mans, etc)
FRD: none

Road course lap records:
RWD: Nürburgring, Monza, Monaco, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Imola, Zandvoort, Silverstone, Hockenheimring, Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, Laguna Seca, Targa Florio, Circuit de la Sarthe (Le Mans), Spa-Francorchamps, Brands Hatch, etc, etc, etc…
FRD: ???

Anyway... RWD for now, until there is a little snow on the ground and you have 'summer' tires.

Really, RWD is fun but I guess I don't really care long as its 'done right' as mentioned above.
