No, it's not great for them but it is far less stressful on a RWD platform than it is on a FWD platform.

I know why they put water down but anything can do a burnout on water. Except my old Goodyear GS-D3's. It just makes it even stupider than it already is (if that's possible).

umm...how exactly do you figure this?

Seriously not trying to be a dick but how is the twisting motion on a RWD transmission which is attached to the engine twisting it in the same fashion as the FWD would any different stress level?

Is the assumption due to length of driveshaft vs CVs?

not to mention the force of the axles and the hell on the brakes... i dont see how you can argue that its better for FWD than RWD.... its abnormal stress on all of the same parts....

Yes, leverage.

well that would be a wrong assumption on any level.

RWD actually is probably harder on the vehicle dur to the trailing arms being pushed against as well as the stress on the tranny and engine and their mounts.

Anyways....if you get the FWD and the RWD to start hopping then you really won't see much of a difference between them at all.

Excessive wheelspin just pisses me off cause it means the car isn't hooking up. I've never spun them for more than a few seconds.
