Re: RWD vs FWD (vs AWD...?)
If you know drifting methods, you can still save your car with your RWD. Thats the Point I was making.
Once your FWD car does a 180 on you and you're driving backwards, you can only rely on your front wheels to try to "pull" away from a potential wreck, where the rear wheels get most of the weight of the car.
With RWD if you do a 180, the weight of the vehicle still moves towards the rear where you can get more help in traction and use the RWD wheels to try to prevent your wreck.
I hope this makes sense. Its physics stuff... It's simply like having more brake power on your front wheels on every car during typical stop, where most of the car's weight is transferred to the front.

Pot meet kettle. A 350Z is a car. Kitted means a body kit. And I'm not sure if he has a 350Z or a 300ZX Twin Turbo. I don't care if RWD dragsters on DOT drag radials (aka one line down the center makes them DOT) cutting .9 60's, he isn't. As far as owning track records, I believe the HKS Evo holds the record at the Tsukuba circuit. Also the Sun Cyber Evos holds a record somewhere, but I can't remember, it's been a while.
Congrats on defending RWD on drag racing. You just confirmed what I posted earlier. READ prior to posting it might save you some effort.
BTW, since you seem to know so much with your 3 sentences, enlighten us on what you think the differences are between RWD, AWD, and FWD.

I must say out of all the stuff i've read and the cars that i've driven
RWD is just all around more fun
FWD just was something to go to point a to point b in
AWD is like a off the line dream or a RALLY car
RWD you can be like ahhh its time to have fun lets kick the ass end out and slide around this turn
FWD e-brake slide for the loose ;(
AWD LETS TRY AND MAKE IT SPIN OUT !!
