Hello br/o/thers. I come to you with a simple request:
Can we please kill the "FWD sucks" meme?
There are so many amazing vehicles from multiple manufacturers that just happen to drive the front wheels.
Pic related: This is me at a track day last Sunday... beating WRX's, BRZ's 240sx's mustangs, camaros, even a few corvettes.
I'm not saying I'm some expert driver, or that my car is better than those listed. There are plenty of other cars with much better times than mine. All I'm trying to say is that a vehicles performance has more to it than its drivetrain configuration.
Killing a meme only makes it stronger, similar to a hydra.

Hey friend I'd love to join your cause, the only problem is that fwd fucking sucks so many balls.

sounds like you're trying to prove something to yourself
your drivetrain is made for middle aged women

I'm not trying to prove anything. I'm just tired of the default response "no, you don't want that car because it's not 300hp RWD."
Even when the vehicle proposed is actually really good.

It depends on the application. On a road course fwd definitely has an advantage in that group of vehicles. 240s and brzs are made to go around a track sideways not quickly. Don't know what a mustang was doing on a road course in the first place. Your power to weight ratio is probably better than theirs. FWD has less loss of power through the transmission than rwd because wheels are rotating on the same plane as the crank. The 90° shift in the diff of rwd and most awd is their downfall. FWD can put power down better to and extent. You have to consider that the front wheels are doing twice the work as in rwd. They have to steer and accelerate. At a certain point they can no longer do both. This is why you generally don't see high output fwd cars. They simply can't handle cornering and putting down lots of power.
