Message: [QUOTE="Hogwylde, post: 183203, member: 24357"] IMO, there is no such thing as a high performance front wheel drive car. Smokey Unick (sp?) wrote in one of his many books that if you built two cars as identical as possible with the only exception being one is front and the other rear wheel drive, that the rear wheel drive would outperform the front wheel drive in all aspects. I guess that's why you dont see front wheel drive NASCAR, IROC, IRL, CART or any other major sanctioning body running them professionally. (Yea, I know the Monte Carlo and others are front wheel drive from the factory. But, they dont RACE them like that do they???) (Another of my gripes against NASCAR:think ) So, I'll stick to my rear wheel drive vehicles. Never owned a front wheel drive, never will. But, busting the rear universal joint and putting it in 4 wheel drive and driving around like that is different.....and temporary!!! ;) [/QUOTE]
