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!!!

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.

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?
