FWD-RWD-AWD

[matthewAPM]

I don't own Forza, let alone an Xbox 360 or PS3. You drive a car with a shorter wheel base. It's characteristics are naturally gonna be different from a car with a longer wheelbase. But, you're right. It's just Forza talk, because I guess I'm talking out my arse. EJ25RUN might be on to something

and you think i havent driven other cars? did u not read my post? I geuss not because your still saying some stupid sh.it. a shorter wheel base car has more rotation (generally setup related) but the handling is similiar for all FWD, lift drift. go race a car then come back and tell me that gas in a FWD = oversteer.

like i said, if you know oo so much about FWD then set my car up please.

BTW, EJ25RUN knows his ****. and he can tell you the same thing. watch some incar race videos and learn a thing or to. watch steering and throttle/brake input. what you said was logical yet was wrong (applys for some AWD cars and RWD cars).

nice try.

So basicly, you're telling me that a FWD car is by no means capable of oversteer due to the drivetrain configuration?

I could possibly help you with your suspension set up, what's your specs front and rear and what's the average speed you do around a track? I'm not trying to be an ass, but honestly I try to help out anyone. Are you shallow enough not to listen or do you know everything? PM me your specs and we can converse there.

You want to make a chassis that naturally understeers to oversteer? Why?

Oversteer = bad
Fwd = understeer
Understeer = bad
blackshine007= really doesn't know what he's talking about

I have a serious question. My Yaris hatcback had a tendency to swing the back end around instead of understeer. The tires would grip and refused to send me into an understeer situation. Probably due to my lack of power and torque. However the backend, with it's stiff-as-hell suspension setup and lack of rear weight, wouldn't hesistate to come swinging around and have my nose pointing at the inside ditch. It was easy to control, but it felt...awkward. Would this in anyway be considered oversteer or just rotation?


As for which do I prefer between AWD, RWD, or FWD? First off, I don't have much experience with AWD so I'll omit it completely. I'd have to say it depends on what I'm wanting to do. 2/7 of the cars I've owned have been FWD and I've never had any problems with them. I found their characteristics more predicatible and easier to control. RWD has definitely been more fun in the long run. Being both at drift events and regular track events, the RWD cars have always been enjoyable. So again, I'm not particularly biased towards one or the other.

Does the backend start to swing out under braking or does it step out when you get back on the power?
