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

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?

Checkmate FFfags
>>
>>15395552
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

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.

Ever heard the saying "this piece of shit handles like a shopping cart"

Tsuchiya raced civics professionally for years retard

>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

>>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.
>>

>drifting isn't drifting
Last time I checked, drifting is drifting.

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.

It was nissan.

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

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