      Falcon Guy you are just regurgitating info you have gleaned from others not from practical expirience. The back flys out on rear wheel drive way easier than on a front wheel drive so much in fact, that BMW are constantly being lambasted for sticking to rear wheel drive, I have put more cars sideways that have rear wheel drive than any other, torque steer is an issue that you have to learn to control just like back end slide is something you learn to control...when front wheel drives first started to be introduced all the major competitors in the Rally circuit switched to that form as they were easier to control...now of course they have all wheel drive tightly set up rear wheel drive cars can have terrible understeer but you have to compensate...front wheel drive go around corners as if they are on rails...straight line then perhaps you have a point but to actually drive a vehicle then you have to make turns.

        Im not regurgiatating though. And the accleration through turns is a huge problem for control whether you have experiance or not. I have driven plenty of rear wheel drive cars, and <b>edit: two (98 grand prix V6 and 87 honda accord)</b> front wheel drive car extensively. There is such a difference.

                    i couldnt agree with you more!

                    i think most people bother with jap crap because its cheap as hell and they are cheap(relativly speaking) to upgrade.

                      Jap cars are fine for everyday use,going to work,shopping etc. but their dull as dishwater.We've the same thing in England ,people throwing $1000 at cars,no matter how they "tart`em up " they're still shopping trolleys.

                      Mind you British cars aren't up to much either

                          ok this debate has cooked on this forum before
                          blah...blah...blah..

                          all debates ive read is always domestic vs. imports...fine
                          but then you compare apples to oranges
                          ah.....duh!!
                          imports 4 cylinder cars getting compared to v8 of domestic
                          if people are goin to debate on these things...at least debate on cars in the same class....that right folks...THE SAME CLASS!!

                          i find it so amusing for both sides to battle all out of this debate and over all...its just funny.

                          ..could it be because a large v8 car would be a stupid mistake....can you say gas prices?!?

                          its still just a civic...
                          wow...who comes up with these things?!?

                          yes still a civic....and ive also witnessed a civic doin 7.88 at 203mph...yes a civic

                          and a full blown v8 can pass that i bet!

                          geesh people...let it go

                          hey coffee....tell you bro keep it up...good work
