So for a Pro driver its an extremely easy car to drive.
uh oh here comes the name calling.....he has stated before that his tires DO slip on launch ..all 4 of them...just for a sec....and u went around my rebuttle where u stated evos/stis only FEEEL like they handle better because a NOVICE can push them harder......i wasnt talking about novices...i was talking about guys that test cars for a living stating how they handled EXTREMELY well and it was partly due to the AWD and that your WRONG budQuote:

FWD can't drift either. and ain't track cars...

Why don't you prove that AWD makes the car handle better. Give it your best shot. Its not going to happen, because it simply isn't true. The road testers say the cars handle well because they are very predictable and easy to toss around. Yet they don't actually handle better than any other car that pulls .90g's on the skidpad or goes through the slalom at 68MPH.
Im not trying to get into something that is over my head but i can vouche for awd. i took a hard left turn at 61 mph and there was hardly any body roll. swear to god. those little fuckers handle. awd makes a difference. i agree to an extent that it can make novice drivers feel like pros but that is just a testament to awd. the reation time is insane. they pull well on the skidpad. and ee is totally right about dumping the clutch. it's impossible. you will bog BADLY. you have to slip it, just like launching a certain v8 monster. but yes awd puts a ton of strain on the drive train bc people do rev them to the sky and dump em. they are novice. ever heard of a good transfer case? neither have i

You like starting trouble, don't you??Quote:

Can you link me to some FWD cars that pull 72mph in the slalom or .90gs on the skidpad in stock form?
OR rwd for that matter for 30k NEW
Whats all this about FWD?? Who cares about FWD?? Everyone knows it sucks, all the weight is at the front of the car. The rear just follows whatever the front does.Quote:

You're obviously missing my point. An AWD car doesn't handle any better than any other car that pulls the same skidpad/slalom numbers. Whats so hard to understand about that?? Its common sense, really.
like i said...find a car that handles better ( better numbers ) for 30k wes...i dont care which wheels drive the car...and find one with such a high center of gravity....the awd has a HUGE factor on the handling..give it up
Find me where it did 68mph. I just lookd it up and almost every single tester Ive seen had it AT LEAST 70mph, up to 73mph.Quote:
