Don't you get sick of FWD?

Why exactly can you NOT STAND FWD any more?
Wheel hop. Doesn't raise the front of the car when you punch it. Mostly everything else seems slow and unexciting.

If anyone remembers, I haven't been on this site for months. I used to have this quite memorable civic with a wal-mart intake:


Well, it rolled late one night, saved my life. But now I'm totally hooked on RWD, especially the part where you lose it.
Why?

All cars are the same. THey all have 4 tires, 4 wheels, doors, steering wheel, brake, gas pedal and in some cases a clutch pedal.

They all drive the same, they all turn the same, they all brake the same.

FWD and AWD will understeer if you push them too hard.
RWD will oversteer if you push them too hard.

Yes. It's a 91, in 92 they changed the suspension around to make it understeer instead of oversteer, but that worsened the handling. The Civic rolled because it was an accident. An honest to goodness accident.
