    However road racing no problem against them except like Simon said you can't get the ass out. I would rather have the adrenaline rush of spinning out instead of under steering into a wall.



    Not to burst your bubble but the GT's have a live axle and blow at handling, more or less good overtake.. ha
    You can definitely have an oversteering FWD, my old CRX oversteered like hell compared to my Miata. Go to an SCCA race some of the FWD cars usually pull off the best slides through turns lol.

    It's is all about momentum, shifting weight, and braking.

    RWD or I do not care. When they build FWD Ferraris, Lambos let me know.......

    I've had FWD, it is for efficiency and to save costs. Yes you can make a FWD fun etc but give me the PROPER RWD setup please.

    Hell just for the look, staggered wheels on RWD looks superb. This new trend of Staggered on FWD is so lame its pathetic.

    When Porsche with their racing history goes FWD, let me know....

    I don't ever remember a successful FWD supercar so that's enough for me to know its lesser when compared to RWD. If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will let me know.
