s2000 vs. ex
went to the strip friday night with a large group of friends to run some people. on the way down i ran a stock rsx-s on the highway and beat him by 4+cars to 100mph.
when we got to the strip the first guy i ran was a 2000si with a greddy kit and some exaust. he had stock si wheels and some wierd headlights. we went from a dead stop and i pulled on him through third gear and had about 2 cars on him by about 95mph. something was either very wrong with his car, he was a bad driver, or he was using the stock boost with few other upgrades.
the second run was an s2000 with a header, exaust, cai, pulleys, v-afc, short shifter, and probably some other stuff i don't know about. we were flagged off and i struggled for traction through first, so he gained a car. through the next two gears we pulled even and when he shift to fourth i pulled up to his fender and we let off (it was 100+mph, so more than a 1/4 mile). DAMN RWD!!!
that's my story. :cheers:

RWD is a car's best friend.

correction AWD is a car's best friend
if the car has traction and shoots off the line with enough Hp to keep accelerating at a decent pace then it's got the advantage
enough i mean like STi 300hp enough

AWD usually is better for street tires, compared to most RWDs. I've seen f-bodies pull 1.5 60s on street tires too though that is on a really sticky drag strip and not the street.

The only AWD system I'd even consider for racing is that of a Skyline's, which I believe has a continuously-variable power transfer rate, based on rate of accleration and other various conditions.
I remember it being described as this, by some magazine.. of course, I'm likely wrong, so if a skyline-guru could clarify, that'd be great,
Full throttle-
Back tires light up instantly. Computer (?) realizes that there is zero grip, and transfers just enough (up to 40%) to the front wheels to get it moving. This starts the car moving, and at the same time, allows the back tires to grip. Power is then re-routed almost fully to the back tires, but just enough remain with the front to keep from spinning the back.
---------------------------
Other than that, I'd consider AWD for autoX, but for dragging... RWD all the way.
