Why do people think it's a good idea to transmit power to the wheels that steer?

mostly cause it's cheap.
That's it really.

But even in AWD applications it doesn't really make sense when it comes to performance handling (not snow/rain/etc...).
Adrian Allen
yes
more grip makes no sense in performance
Cooper Jones
this,
plus understeer is a lot more easier to deal with for normies than oversteer would be

grip and power distribution is useful under hard acceleration to prevent wheel spin. it's well known that any advantage offered by forward wheel driving is cancelled out by the lateral forces it sustains by having this power applied to the steering wheels. probably why they don't use AWD in literally any form of racing (f1, nascar, motogp, etc...)

because we are all getting fat. the fatter we get the more room that needs to be inside the car. get rid of the driveshaft hump and you have more room for fat legs. the same reason cars and trucks are now fuckhuge.
Leo Evans
thats because it adds weoght and the rules have it banned
most of the fastest street cars are awd for a reason
Adam Russell
But why aren't drag cars AWD?

>weight
>drivetrain loss
they use gigantic slicks so its not like theyre traction limited
