srsly thought is it FWD? i dont mind the looks, i just dont think the performance would be there to back it up. my ser had 245 wide tires in the front and was spinning through 9th gear and in all corners with only 260bhp, i can only imagine how crazy it would be to drive that thing with narrower tires (im assuming) and 45 more bhp :lol > [@t72 2jz nyplate](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/t72-2jz-nyplate/16776/15): > > owned!!! lol GO BIG OR GO HOME > [@WTB: Guillotine](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wtb-guillotine/16693/26): > > **I prefer fwd over a rwd**.
