Can you make a FWD car better THAN RWD? Is such a thing even possible?

Can you make a FWD car better THAN RWD? Is such a thing even possible?

I'm a Miata driver and I just don't get these people with civic "track cars"

There are some really decent fwd cars, with good lap times and quick acceleration and handling.
They are good in in the snow and for the average driver they are safer to control.

pic related is a 9 second fwd car

Subtle

The FWD vs RWD debate is stupid because no car has been made in both FWD and RWD versions*. What makes a FWD or RWD car better than another won't just be the drivetrain layout because there will be other differences too.

*Someone prove me wrong and make a fair comparison between the two

If FWD is so good, why do you push a shopping cart?

Checkmate FFfags

op whats with the microagression

why the quotes around track car if you dont think they are really track cars be a man and own your opinion so we can mock and hate you

dont be a half assed little pussy

Miatas are better in every way

no FWD can compete with RWD, even Tsuchiya knew that

>No car has both FWD and RWD versions
U wot

Chevrolet did it in 2008.

Tell that to the CRX owners who go out to AX every weekend and spank Miata on the reg.

I prefer my RWD as well, BRZ.

Ever heard the saying "this piece of shit handles like a shopping cart"

Tsuchiya raced civics professionally for years retard

lot of mods for that time

yeah but they're simple

What the fuck does this post even mean? Are you retarded?

IF FWD IS SO GOOD
WHY ARE THERE NO FWD IN THE TOUGE MAX

Please tell me you're joking. That thing is fucking pathetic.

>I just don't get these people with civic "track cars"

>has never drove a civic

its not about actually being better than RWD

its having a sub 2000lb car and not being a fag in a miata

Initial D taught me that it was about the driver, not the car :^)

>drift runs

>no fwd cars

also


>"looks like the car would not be a good choice for novice drivers"

>silvia

>FWD will never be better than RWD
Subtle b8
Confirmed for not driving one

>implying the later specced out tuned silvias aren't really fucking fast and dangerous
>implying FWD can't drift

>fwd cant drift

my EF hatch on 13" wheels and 175/65 tires oversteers everywhere. if you turn in sharp the back end wants to get lose

it will slide on all 4 in the wet. its not drifting

>FWD will never be better than RWD

it really can't.

If you had a mid-engine RWD civic with equal weight and power a FWD civic wouldn't stand a chance

Better in what way? But to answer your question, YES.
Hope you and your bf enjoy your miata anyway.

>drifting isn't drifting
Last time I checked, drifting is drifting.

this is b8

dude any 9 second car is going to have a lot of mods or cost the equivalent thereof lol

>I'm a Miata driver
Stopped reading right there.
You just lost any credit your word might've had.

buttmad fwd "enthusiast"

Bread on hood, lest you be a busriding shitposter.

Nissans attempt at a FWD LMP1 car that was so slow the LMP2 cars and GT class owned it.

No fwd has fundamental limits for performance and will never perform as well as the other 2 drivetrain even Nissan built that fwd supercar the gtr LM and it didn't do as well as the competition

>Nissan
There's your problem

No the problem was FWD. It burnt the front tires in cornering, braking, and acceleration. Also slower each lap too.

It was nissan.

Holy shit this looks fun

EK vs NA

>fwd loses miserably
As expected

You do know the chase car in the first part was the 86, second part was the EF
No one even passed

The chase car doesn't have to pass to win idiot

>he doesn't understand cat and mouse

This isn't a tsuiso run, m8. Most drift touge videos are tsuiso, no racing, just tandem.

Nawww, there has to be distance. but the distance in the first video was pretty much a stalemate for both runs, the gap was mostly between 2-3 meters the whole time

The rwd cars were right behind ff
They won

>The rwd cars were right behind ff
>they won

YAY FF SHITBOX WON

Wrong

Sure, let Mazda design it.

>FWD
>ever

lot of loyalty for a hired gun

stay mad, memesliders

GOD tier taste

Or perhaps he's wondering why you would shoot a man, before throwing him out of a FWD.
