lots of reasons. i mean what lurker posted is true, the fundamental problem with FWD is that doing what you want to do (drive hard) basically always unloads the wheels you need to do it. the cars also themselves tend to not be fun or cool, like hot hatches are just kinda boring to me. i had one, it was fine, i dont want another one. the cars also are not designed well for performance driving, very front heavy, very light in the back. i also find them boring to drive, you really have no interplay between the parts of the car, you don't have any handle on the balance of the car mid corner, because the only wheels that matter ever are the fronts. power on = understeer. unlike in a RWD car where adjusting the power can change the slip angle, and the balance of the grip with the front wheels, that to me is THE purpose of driving. its the only fun part of driving. controlling the car on entry, through mid corner, to exit. there just isn't that with FWD cars (and most AWD cars).Originally Posted by UV Halo
you can make FWD cars fast. i don't think anyone has figured out a way to make a RWD quicker than a CRX Si or the same generation civic. the miatas should be able to do it, and they do sometimes, but i think the civics are quicker in STS. FWD can be very fast, and be made to work for racing. but really it bores me, there isn't anything there for me to enjoy.
