you are missing the point. i am talking about handling, not speed/acceleration in which case it is obvious that AWD is beneficial. my argument is that driving power to the wheels being used for steering is counter-productive from a suspension/balance point of view.
Why do people think it's a good idea to transmit power to the wheels that steer?

this. I was at the gas station in my e92 335i coupe and a new m4 pulled up next to me, it looks like it moved up an entire segment in size.
Asher Rodriguez
so am I
look at the Nurburgring times
3 of the top 5 are AWD and the other 2 are glorified go karts
AWD isnt 50/50 in modern performance applications and only sends power when its needed
its not counter-productive at all
Grayson Young
And the E92 is bigger than the E46 which is bigger than the E36 which is bigger than the E30...
Easton Richardson
lol well thats not AWD then. that is just traction control
Joshua Sanchez
How did they get ST cars to oversteer anyway?
Samuel Bell
no thats AWD
do you not even know how AWD works
Hudson Richardson
Yes, AWD is an inherent 50/50 distribution of power similar to what Subaru has. Not your meme Jap AWD that is RWD up until it needs it. That is just some electronics traction control nonsense that isn't what we are discussing
Jason Price
That's why proper AWD is supposed to be RWD biased with power going to the front wheels only when shit gets really hairy, usually coming out of the turn under full power.

>some electronics traction control nonsense
You ain't discussing shit, m8. You're just writing down chimpout sounds and think that's what arguments sound like.
