Why does everyone keep shitting on FWD?
We're not talking economy car, A-B only people who don't care about cars either.

Pure enthusiast performance and handling

Why is FF supposed to be worse than FR? FR is a baffling system that makes no sense.

Because people need to feel superior to something even though higher end ff is as fast if not faster

>FR is a baffling system that makes no sense.

It's simple really.
Having the front tires brake, steer, and throttle overloads them. Combined with having no weight on the rear end, combined with weight transferring away from the drive wheels on acceleration.
FR is just a superior configuration for track cars. There's no debate.

>>13936781
It's getting to the point that ff and rwd are getting to a singularity because of the modern day complexity of newer lsds. Both the type R and Megane and to point a focus ST have torque vectoring lsd which apply power and braking independently to each driven wheel, the type r being the most complicated

you're just swallowing the jalopnik poison
FR cars make no sense and are vastly inferior to FF, which is worse than MR

Valkyria Chronicles was the best RPG of the last console gen.

FR is just mechanically simpler and can be drifted.

RR as in pic related is better for cooling and crew ergonomics, however. And it keeps the engine BEHIND the frontal armour, rather than embedded as part of it. And it makes swapping out the engine/gearbox powerpack quicker.

FF will never be as good as FR no matter how complicated your computer controls get.

I've never been to jalopnik in my life. This is common knowledge to anyone who isn't an initial d keyboard warrior.

Oh yes faggots like you get btfo all the time

Civic type r is faster than some Porsche's faster than c5 z06 and high trim c6, faster than c63 Mercedes,, faster than m3 and rs3 for way cheaper, don't be an idiot

FR is trash kid

>>13937801
When you said kid I almost believed for a second that you had any clue what you were talking about, but then realized you were a no-car keyboard warrior.

Just make sure you stick to cartoons and 4chan or wherever you get your car "knowledge" from.
