OMG OMG OMG are you like for real? limp dick drag racer huh? i bet you have never made a pass faster than 14 seconds in your life, and im willing to bet if you rode in that supra you would be breaking out your wallet to buy the man a new seat after you shat yourself after passing the 1320 in 8.8 seconds at 160 MPH

LMFAO...that does not even make a damn bit of sense.
On the argument of better handling IN SNOW...fwd is typically better. It puts the weight of the engine over the front wheels and makes it so the wheels you steer with are the ones that are getting power. Don't believe me? Back your rwd car into a foot of snow and then tell me how you plan on working the tires from side to side to gain traction.

Both RWD AND AWD are by far more fun to drive IMO. The prelude would only be better if it was RWD (and had non-FRM sleeves and a strong tranny...but that's a different topic )

uh yes it does, if FWD handled better and was superior to RWD then bikes, motorcycles, trucks and sports cars would be manufactured in a FWD layout. the only vehicles that come FWD are cheap economy cars.

yes i own a FWD car but i am also honest with myself and dont think my neon or the prelude im searching for is supercar will take the twisties mad JDM fast cause its FWD lol

Your original quote was talking about an average (RWD) chain driven bicycle being made into FWD...that is what was retarded...the comparison. Do you plan on making the chain flex in the direction the handlebars are turned?...you missed the entire point of your own comparison (in which you were making fun of someone else) being in its own right... completely retarded I can't believe I have to even dumb it down to this level.

regardless, if FWD was so superior like JHall250 says then why wouldnt they modify bikes so we would all be riding around like this....





he is a bike salesman, if he loves FWD so much he should manufacture bikes like the one above and sell those with the pitch of having "refined handling"

Don't know about the rest of you but I bought a Prelude which happened to be FWD, not a FWD car that happened to be a Prelude.

The one thing we CAN'T argue with is when you have alot of power.. you dont want it to be channeled through the front wheels.

yeah if your making 500+whp its smart to not do that in a FWD platform but then again slicks to help alot. i cut 1.8 60ft's all day in the neon with M/H racemaster 23x8.5x15's without a good burnout cause i have been on stock clutch. hoping to get it down to atleast 1.7 soon.
