[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 264728, member: 4527"] This is what I like... u tickle Lee a little and he will turn all rocks to come up with fact and figure... I just sit back and relax to enjoy the effort. Thanks Lee.. :D There's a reason for FWD la. 1. car is easier to build. 2. more efficient transfer engine output to wheels, normal day to day drive la. FC also better la.. :D 3. correctly mentioned by Lee, good in slippery road surface like gravel, snow, icy, mud.. :D 4. maximised cabin space which is one plus point to build a "transport" machinery..:D Even Volvo also get the hang of it building some of their models like 850, V70, T5, S40, S60 with FWD.. :D Can pakai to certain extend la.. F1 cars using FWD? this I want to see.. :D With high horse power pickup, RWD can be benefited by the additional rear wheel traction due to transfer of gravity to the rear during pickup. FWD will only screech... :thumpdown: Cornering at high speed? AWD or FWD is still the best especially with the traction balancing system like in the xDrive or something. Dunno how fast u all are driving but for me.. any drive system also good enough la.. I like using RWD because turning radius smaller, lower in maintenance (drive shaft can tahan much longer), stiffer chassis due the propeller shaft trunk thus less body flex and safer car to survive accidents.. :D Talking about FWD performance, both the Civic Type R (CTR) and Suzuki Swift Sport (SSS) has some very impressive performance figures. Leave the RM199k CTR out, the RM97k SSS manual can trash the 156hp 120i M-Sport on paper with an impressive 0-100 w/ 8.9s and top speed of 215kph.. scary... :( I think cabin space also bigger than the premium car 120i which retailed at RM220k.. :( Just like between auto and manual... its difficult to get manual car now in Malaysia, seriously, I still enjoy driving Manual a lot... same with FWD vs RWD, high power rear wheel drive car is dangerous for new and inexperience driver. Having said the, low power FWD suit them just nice.. maybe an Alfa.. :D to foster a lesser accident driving community.. :D [/QUOTE]
