Yup... my FWD is worthless. I hate it. Ever try launching a FWD V6? It sucks, and is pretty hard to do without spinning or bogging. Can you say "clutch slip?"
He didn't say "any RWD is faster than any FWD"... but it just happens to be the case for 80% of cars out there. Notice that any car that runs 14.0 or better from the factory is either RWD or AWD, with very very few notable exceptions, of which my only current guess would be the SRT neon. Same goes for the handling department, with a possible exception being the Mini Cooper S, since its basically a go-kart with that sickly low center of gravity. It can corner with a porche, trust me.
BTW ... not very nice to single me out and attack my car in particular. I never made any claims about my own vehicle's performance, but I will make one right now.-- Yes, I can probably smoke your neighbor's econoline van.
Respond to Nathan's post, he's the one you need to be defending your viewpoint against.
