Re: Front wheel drives	Sat, 21 August 2004 23:18

The way people react towards front wheel drive and rear wheel drive is pathetic, its like the holden vs ford battle. they are both as good as one another they just have different plus points. front wheel drive cars handle just as well as rear wheel drive if not even better in a lot of cases, maybe the first front wheel drives wern't so good but a lot has changed since then with car dynamics. i've owned a rear wheel drive and currently own a front wheel drive, i drive Rear Wheel Drive, All Wheel Drive And Front Wheel Drive cars at work every day from supercharged v8's twin turbo V12's and turbo 4's on twisty and wet roads, now they can all be driven at the same speed as one another. AWD is great but very boring to drive, simply because they stick to the road so well. Rear wheel drive is excellent to have fun in exspecially in the wet weather and Front wheel drive can be driven just as fast as the last two including around corners, understeer isn't even an issue as if you have a little bit of driving ability you can prevent it or at least control it, and its piss easy to adjust your toe setting to dial in oversteer on a FWD mine always has the back step out before the front understeers the only reason or time front wheel drives are more likely to understeer is when the wheels are spinning or during braking simply because of the more load placed on the front wheels, where rear wheel drive's have those problems at the back of the car causing oversteer. but in simple going through corners they are exactly the same if not front wheel drive requires a bit more of an art to go quick. i don't know what all of you people are going on about, i beat all my friends cars in the cornering department and they are all rwd on the dirt my car is heaps better then rear wheel drive as i have a much faster out of corner speed and to make it simply the only time i enjoy driving a RWD car is when i want to get the back to step out around corners in the wet and sometimes in the dry. other then that when it comes down to pure high speed driving i say FWD all the time, i get a much larger grin when i drift around a corner with the back hanging out on the charade then i would in a RWD car anyday. in a nut shell one isn't better then the other rwd is good in some section's and so is FWD RWD is for you if you like getting it sideways with little effort and simply showing off and trying to look like a good driver and FWD is for you if you get more excitment out of fast tight twisty roads. i know there will be a lot of people out there that will disagree with my view but its just the opinion that i have after owning a FWD and RWD car and spending all day driving Mercede's Benz, Subaru and Nissan cars and just for those who dont know, Mercedes = RWD Subaru = AWD Nissan = FWD so i've had a fair bit of experience driving all the types. whats next? are we going to start asking whats better pepsi or coke? Macca's or KFC Pizza Haven or Pizza Hut? who cares in the end it comes down to personal choice, whatever floats your boat. [Report message to a moderator]
