Message: <blockquote data-quote="Otacon" data-source="post: 1063678815" data-attributes="member: 101236">First off, I feel that this poll is poorly worded. FWD versus RWD? I don't think anything is that simple in the real world. Different cars are manufactured for different drivetrains, they are set up as such as part of a whole package. Usually, it will be impossible to assess two drivetrains in the same chassis - especially with something as different as FWD and RWD. To say for certain that FWD has its merits over RWD or vice versa will need one common chassis, and then to compare handling characteristics/performance etc using that common chassis.However, and please correct me if I'm wrong here, but there's no car manufacturer today that produces a FWD and a RWD using the same chassis. So what are we left with? Only the ability to compare DIFFERENT cars with different drivetrain layouts. To me, that is like comparing apples and oranges: it's all subjective. Sure, one car may be faster than another around a given track. But what about the HP or weight advantage? Who's to say that the performance difference is down to the different drivetrains? Handling between RWD and FWD cars nowadays are so similar that even the average car enthusiast today would be hard pressed to place a piece of paper between them. So what's left is basically our very subjective "feeling" of whether a car is better than another, and trust me...that is hardly hard science. Back to topic after my longwinded spiel though - I voted for RWD, simply because I own a RWD car. Notwithstanding the fact that this particular car could get its ass handed to it by at least half a dozen FWD cars on the road or on the track. But does that make me like it less? Of course not!</blockquote>
