FWD vs RWD

[rs73]

ah yep you're right. I'm getting older my brain totally forgot the Integra... Type-R is also a nice fast car if someone wanna buy me one I'd sure pick that one...

Dunno about Peugeot 206 GTI (but interior space a bit crammed)... but wont beat the Type-R...

PS: Is Mazda MX5 RWD or FWD? Cos I have no idea... anyone?

[redline2003]

mx5 is rwd but i thought the previous versions were fwd. there are actually 100 turbo versions in australia in case yous didnt know

[rs73]

I know there's also an old MX6, bigger than MX5, but that's a RWD too I think....

There's too many car choices these days, allow me one choice in front of each manufacturer's brochure, I'd be very confused trying to choose which brand new one to get!!!

I can attest to the "understeer" fact of FWD's - I've got a 1991 Nissan Pulsar GL (1.6ltr hatch) - love the wet bcos it's the only time i can have some fun in the car. Not enough power to generate fun on it's own, need some help from mother nature

Some nice flicking action in the wet around a car will make the car just continue travelling on the same line, car shudders heaps!! But just back off the throttle and you've got no probs correcting the car on the right course. But in the wet the car just shudders "outwards" from the way your turning.

With enough speed u can get the back out tho, and i spose you can always use the handbrake. But i haven't been game enough to try the handbrake or take a corner and too high a speed. Don't really have any industrials places around my area.

cheers.

yeh u can drift in a fwd although not as fast or as proper, u use the handbrake to 'hold the angle of the car' i think, looks ok wif the front wheels smoking up and car goin sideways(sort of)

both MX6s(early turbo and later V6 atmo versions) are FWDs AFAIK

Tell him to buy an Alfa 147GTA. I've driven one and they rock. Easily dispatch STis on twisty roads and flog them up the straight...

156 GTA!!!
