RE: Mazda 3 MPS extreme
the EXTREME name is pretty cheesy ... and i dont like the two tone paint job. the interior looks nice. the new suspension setup sounds promising and i wouldnt mind the extra power.

I'll be the first to say it.
THIS CAR DOES NOT NEED MORE POWER GOING TO THE FRONT TIRES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!!!

Yes, I'm sure that's exactly what he's saying. It's easier to control a lot more powerwhen the front wheels do the steering and the rear wheels do the driving. With FWD torque steer and severe understeer are always a problem and a concern.

personally i think rwd is a little more difficult to control, just because of the same reason you say fwd is more difficult. at least you have control with the fwd.. rwd u dont.. its easier to slip and slide everywhere if you dont kno how to control the car.

I think if you took a well balanced 500hp FWDcar and a well balanced 500hp RWD car to a road course track and ran both back-to-back, you'd feel the difference much better than I can explain it here. I don't have a good engineering vocabulary at my disposal.
Any engineering types what to get involved here and put it in terms SPeeDy (and I too) could understand?
