Why do young car enthusiasts buy FWD when there are better car options for the price
>>
why does no one like you irl
>>
i too wonder what it is about large sums of money that turns people into fucking retards
>>
Because people can waste their money on whatever they want
>>
>>14988024
Because I like to drive FWD.
>>
>>14988090
Bullshit, asshole. No one likes the tuna.
>>
>>14988090
Not a car enthusiast then
>>
>>14988093
I enjoy rally and short course racing. You know, where FWD dominates RWD.
>>
>>14988118
Then get awd your moron
>>
Like what? The cobalt ss turbo is one of the fastest cars stock under 10k. Faster than a wrx/evo, faster than a 350z with a factory tune,, faster than most BMW'S including the 335i.
>>
>>14988140
>implying awd doesn't understeer worse than a performance fwd
>>
>>14988277
Pretty much the only reason I won't do AWD. They are shit on paved surfaces.
>>
>>14988024
>there are better car options for the price
There isn't (at least where I live). The only RWD sport coupe that's cheaper than Integra and Prelude is BMW e36/e30. And those are basically falling apart at this point. And those FWD Hondas are just better cars.
>>
>>14989166
No they aren't
E36 is better
Miata is better
240sx is better
>>
>>14989389
240sx and Miata are objectively shit
E36 that are cheaper than Integras are slow as hell

rwdkids everybody
>>
>>14989389
>240sx is better
And "tastefully modded".
>>
>>14989389
Toyota celica or Mazda miata?
>>
>>14989429
if its a 7th gen Celica then Celica
>>
>>14989429
The one that's not fwd
>>14989399
Mata and 240sx have infinitely more potential
Bought a miata over ep3 and dc2, best decision I ever made
>>
>>14989458
no they dont lol

get off of Forza

7,000000000000 bucks says you have never competed in a rally in your life.


Prove me wrong.

>>14989454
1997 6th gen automatic celica vs 2002 manual miata. both same mileage and price, miata has small dent in driver side rear fender. which is more fun?

Dent doesnt bother me by the way, and i actually want to learn to drive stick. here's pic
>>
>>14989489
>automatic

just get the Miata

dont bother with that gen Celica
>>
>>14989504
thanks, any particular reason why?
>>
>>14989508
because a slow pigfat automatic fwd isnt going to be anywhere near as fun as a slow lightweight manual rwd
>>
Name a car I can fit all my tools, a four foot step ladder and a dolly and still have as much fun as i do in my Mazda 3 sport for 4k
>>
>>14989389
Bruh, I'm not arguing with you, I was just talking about how it is in my shithole.
>Miata is better
NB/NC is like 2-3 times more expensive than Hondas, NA is nonexistent.
>E36
Most of cars are in bad condition with a lots of stuff needing replacement. And they're much slower at those prices. Decent ones are pricey. But it is the most popular poorfag coupe here regardless.
>240sx is better
It's Silvia, right? They're all tuned to hell and of course are more expensive. Ordering one from Japan is just too bothersome.

And also most of other cars rely on turbo to reach the same power. For maximum poverty sport cars (notice that I don't talking about racing, only about owning a "cool" car) it's really tough to beat old Honda. Worst case scenario, you can give up on buying a coupe and get a fucking Civic with 2.0 VTEC swap. Those are fast as fuck but useless for pulling pussy, so who cares?

Fuck off kid
>>
>>14989518
thanks mate
>>
>>14989389
>e36
Lol no

>miata
I'll give you that but I can see why most younger people wouldn't want to drive one. It'll most likely be their daily and theres no space. Plus they'll look like a faggot

>240sx
So hard to find without a side of rice
>>
>>14988024
A better question is why do so many young car enthusiasts spend all their money on street vehicles instead of getting into racing?
>>
>>14989760
RWD is always better

But you forgot it's a piece of shit.
>>
>>14989805
Not in conditions where you want good traction control. With RWD you'll be slipping all over the road like my dick in your mom's cavernous vagina
>>
>>14989822
but it's a fast piece of shit, that makes all the difference.
>>
>>14989827
> make a point in performance driving light
>someone always says something completely unrelated to the argument like
>space , grip on rainy days

Is it because they have no argument
>>
>>14989822
Fuck off, you are the same autist that spergs out whenever someone mentions a Cobalt and "good" in the same sentence and you've been doing it for years. Did a Cobalt crash because your stupid whore gf had too many retarded things attached to her keychain? Fuck you I spit on your face.
>>
>>14989831

Personally I'd take the 8th gen civic sedan. I'd rather not have my car randomly shut off and kill me.
>>
>>14989827
but in those conditions any advantage gained by FWD is better with an AWD setup, so why not have an AWD setup that can change bias as needed? perhaps RWD until needed, and AWD to stabilize it.

>>14989833
>previous comments had nothing to do with performance driving specifically
m8...
>>
>>14989844
>perhaps RWD until needed, and AWD to stabilize it.
Good point.

I guess the only plus of FWD is more space inside and cheaper.
>>
>>14989844
You know we're on /o/ right? Come on.
>still no argument
>>
>>14989842
it would be your fault for not getting the recall fixed, so it could probably be attributed to natural selection.

>>14989851
I actually think that Ferrari hatch/flyingbrake thingy has a setup like that, but in higher gears. maybe I'm wrong, but it threw the stig into the snow.

>>14989857
but lad, if you follow the posts back to the OP, it's simply "better options", with no mention of tracking.
easy to say he's looking for a daily and not a track.
>i'm on /o/
no excuse.
>>
>>14988271
>>14989834
stay mad the cobalt is a piece of shit, faggot
>>
On the topic of cobalts, I had a g5 and it is the worst car I have ever driven. Even before the car tried to turn it's self off while going down the high way. Four other regular sized keys was to much
>>
>>14989866
>daily and not a track
Both in one. Go away

>>14989875

benchracer pls stay.

Only owning one car + winter = FWD. It's pretty simple. Were you going to take it to the track anyways? Doubtful.

>FWD
>winter tires? naw i'll pass

Winter doesn't exist. Try again.

It's faster than a skyline gtr shitlord

FWD lets you Apex faster
