shit to normal power (<150kW) - FWD will be quick as you dont break too much transaction + FWD is easier to drive than RWD
high power performance (+200kw) - FWD will shit itself.. no way..

I agree.. FWD with about 110kw-150kw will be the best as it maximises its power at the wheels without losing way too much!!.. Most racing honda do not have big ass power at their wheels, they have the optimum, which is what that matters most around the track.Quote:

I like your new avartar too lol!
On the contrary, takumi is gangster. drift and goes faster.Quote:

think maybe the fwd are easier to drive quicker on tight bends? coz usually they are smaller and lighter.
ps. tired of how some ppl are like fwd = mega understeer around the corners like its the end of the world or something.
it only does when u push it past the limits of its grip...
Yes FWD is easier to drive around bends.Quote:

Over a short course there won't be much difference but over a long stint the RWD is better. With FWD the front wheel has to take the load of braking, cornering and putting power down. With a RWD set up it the front wheels are spared the task of putting power down.
Also RWD generally have better weight balancing as the drive train is spread out.

Gotta agree with most of what has been said, big power isnt going to work with fwd. I have noticed a lot of fwd in low power situations seem to get the power down much more easily than rwd's.
I think the ability to control the car more on the throttle is a big thing in the favour of rwd's.
Really it comes down to the whole package. Something that works together well is what you want, rwd or fwd is irrelevant.
