Yeah, but you dont undestand how much civics can be upgraded, its insane what they can look like if you put the time and money into it.Comment

Front wheel drives will always be infinity inferior to rear wheel drives in handling.Originally posted by Konigballer

just cuz they aren't as fun and you can't drift and do other silly and dangerous things doesn't make them worse handling.Originally posted by FalconGuy016

Something tells me you haven't driven much or at all falcon
I REALLY want a 240sx but I can't find a damn unabused one for 300 miles. That thing would be wicked fun but first rainy day *poof* no more mossman
I think i'm getting a GTI now, got my eye on a sick 96, owned by a VW tech. I WANT A VR6 DAMMIT....succch a big engine, suucchhhh a small car, sooooo much fun :PComment

Think of weight transfer and distrubution in a turn with front wheel drive. We are talking performance handling too, not just like going to the store or something (unless its MY kind of going to the store)

well yea, there's a reason that most huge power cars are RWD (although AWD is quickly becoming the norm for all cars with good power). But in a normal car, with the engine up front, the weight isnt balanced the way it is in a porsche or something, so for traction and control reasons its nice having a lot of weight over the wheels that steer you and put your power to the road.
When I get my GTI i'll put a good amount of money on a race between me and my car and you in a 'Stang GT as long as theres some curves involved

Well, actually, I was talking of the wrong thing mostly. When you are handling and turning corners while racing, front wheel drive cars have a problem with traction with acceleration in the wheels while turning. Its just simply easier to lose control if you hit the turn too hard. So, you will frequently slide a little, losing power, direction, and control. This can be dangerous too if you totaly slide out of control. Plus, there is a problem with torque steer that will steer your car a little in acceleration, causing you to lose control. Control is very important when turning corners quickly. This is all very easy though with rear wheel drive (or, much easier anyways) and you can accelerate through corners while steering with full control, and do all those fun RWD things
Another major loss for FWD cars are acceleration. Weight in acceleration is transferred to the back, so, lifting weight off the front. You then burn out for much longer than any good RWD ever would. The general idea that the weight of the engine keeps the car down has almost no play in hard acceleration when it comes to this.Comment
