Can you make a FWD car better THAN RWD? Is such a thing even possible?
I'm a Miata driver and I just don't get these people with civic "track cars"
There are some really decent fwd cars, with good lap times and quick acceleration and handling.
They are good in in the snow and for the average driver they are safer to control.
pic related is a 9 second fwd car

Subtle
The FWD vs RWD debate is stupid because no car has been made in both FWD and RWD versions*. What makes a FWD or RWD car better than another won't just be the drivetrain layout because there will be other differences too.
*Someone prove me wrong and make a fair comparison between the two
If FWD is so good, why do you push a shopping cart?

op whats with the microagression
why the quotes around track car if you dont think they are really track cars be a man and own your opinion so we can mock and hate you
dont be a half assed little pussy
>>15395824
Miatas are better in every way
no FWD can compete with RWD, even Tsuchiya knew that
>>15395788
>No car has both FWD and RWD versions
U wot
>>15395552
Chevrolet did it in 2008.
>>15395552
Tell that to the CRX owners who go out to AX every weekend and spank Miata on the reg.
I prefer my RWD as well, BRZ.
>>15395817
Ever heard the saying "this piece of shit handles like a shopping cart"
>>15396427
Tsuchiya raced civics professionally for years retard
>>15395672
lot of mods for that time
>>15396792
yeah but they're simple
>>15396792
What the fuck does this post even mean? Are you retarded?
IF FWD IS SO GOOD
WHY ARE THERE NO FWD IN THE TOUGE MAX

Please tell me you're joking. That thing is fucking pathetic.
>I just don't get these people with civic "track cars"
>has never drove a civic
its not about actually being better than RWD
its having a sub 2000lb car and not being a fag in a miata
>>15395552
Initial D taught me that it was about the driver, not the car :^)

also

Subtle b8
>>15397026
Confirmed for not driving one
>>15397052
>implying the later specced out tuned silvias aren't really fucking fast and dangerous
>implying FWD can't drift
>>15397064
>fwd cant drift
my EF hatch on 13" wheels and 175/65 tires oversteers everywhere. if you turn in sharp the back end wants to get lose
it will slide on all 4 in the wet. its not drifting
>>15397059
>FWD will never be better than RWD
it really can't.
If you had a mid-engine RWD civic with equal weight and power a FWD civic wouldn't stand a chance
>>15395552
Better in what way? But to answer your question, YES.
Hope you and your bf enjoy your miata anyway.
>>15397127
>drifting isn't drifting
Last time I checked, drifting is drifting.
>>15397144
this is b8
>>15396792
dude any 9 second car is going to have a lot of mods or cost the equivalent thereof lol
>>15395552

Stopped reading right there.
You just lost any credit your word might've had.

Nissans attempt at a FWD LMP1 car that was so slow the LMP2 cars and GT class owned it.
>>15395552
No fwd has fundamental limits for performance and will never perform as well as the other 2 drivetrain even Nissan built that fwd supercar the gtr LM and it didn't do as well as the competition
>>15397923
>Nissan
There's your problem
>>15397931
No the problem was FWD. It burnt the front tires in cornering, braking, and acceleration. Also slower each lap too.
>>15398019
It was nissan.

As expected
>>15398071
You do know the chase car in the first part was the 86, second part was the EF
No one even passed
>>15398078
The chase car doesn't have to pass to win idiot
>>15398090
>he doesn't understand cat and mouse
This isn't a tsuiso run, m8. Most drift touge videos are tsuiso, no racing, just tandem.
>>15398109
Nawww, there has to be distance. but the distance in the first video was pretty much a stalemate for both runs, the gap was mostly between 2-3 meters the whole time
>>15398120
The rwd cars were right behind ff
They won

Or perhaps he's wondering why you would shoot a man, before throwing him out of a FWD.
