I can't believe this is happening all over again.

It's time to settle this with a good ol' fashioned punch up...I will see if we can organise an official toymods brawl...we will have team competitions. Rolla vs Sleeka, FWD vs AWD vs RWD, etc etc...

I'm pretty sure I started this thread over 2months ago and it ended a month ago and it's started again! It's bullshit if you ask me about it.

79RollaBoy resuscitated the thread, so we'll all beat him up before the big FWD/RWD/AWD Brawl!! Very Happy

And Mick: why in the hell are you claiming that FWD has superior fuel enonomy over RWD? Are you mental?!?! And Reliability? You truly are a freak dude. I'm fairly confident guessing that a current model Lexus IS200 is both more reliable AND more fuel efficient than either your Camry or my Celica.

Look: you can make anything fast if you throw enough engineering, money, electronics and testing at it. All I've been trying to impress upon you one-eyed RWD-haters is that weight/power/etc. aside, RWD makes a more effective, more enjoyable car than a identical FWD. If setup correctly, AWD is obviously better again - provided you've got enough power to overcome the drag of 3 diffs instead of 1.

Not saying you can't enjoy driving FWD's - I know I love trail-braking my SillyCar into subtle 4-wheel drifts and absurd broadslides. Problem is though, understeer is the only option once I get back on the power. Sad

Of course, I don't need to tell you how badly FWD's get the power down out of corners, do I?

Hock a drive in a late model, big HP RWD. Perhaps then you'll appreciate the subtleties of controlling your trajectory with both hands AND feet. All the time - not just under brakes like in FWD.

(End Transmission)

once again you have proven my point. You don't know when to stop! your argument is pretty stupid saying that I'm a one eyed RWD hater, I have nothing against rear wheel drive, in fact I couldn't give to fucks what drive I had. because I know all cars are different. I have NOTHING against rear wheel drive! in fact I would own another rear wheel drive car, but couldn't care less what the drive was, all I'm trying to say is they all have there purposes. you are the freak when you mention the Lexus you ever heard of the Toyota Prius? it would have to be front wheel drive now wouldn't it? front wheel drives are more affordable then your average Lexus IS200. I'd rather my Camry because its cheap and reliable and doesn't HAVE the massive insurance cost. front wheel drives are designed with economy in mind, rear wheel drive does make a better sports car where heaps of power is involed but the majority of FWD are better on fuel then RWD. It's just a common fact a wheel tune 4 cyl front wheel drive is usually better then your average V6 Commodore on fuel.

Power isn't every thing

end rant
