This should be arguing AWD or MR… then I would change my vote. So actually most of your supercars are not front engine - rear wheel. ---

This is one of those rare threads that I agree with what MPD47 has to say. But it is still a very close call for me. AWD definitely has it’s advantages in some applications like rally, but on the tarmac RWD offers much more control. And any way you look at it I have a lot of fun with RWD being able to just hang the ass end out around every turn when I want too. ---

Funny, I hang ass ends whenever I want around turns in my AWD cars? The question sucks so much it’s not even funny. I’ll answer it the way I perceive the question : If I only had one car, it would be AWD. I’m not talking super cars, I’m not talking “race” cars. I’m talking about a car I am going to own, and drive around. All year, everywhere, whenever I want. Where ever I want. You fucksticks talk about all these “supercars” that _gasp_ guess what? Suck shit in rain, and any type of not perfect weather/road conditions. Not to mention, no one here is going to own a supercar anytime in the near future so you can cockjoust all you want. ---

Burnouts are certainly big on my list, but it’s hard to argue with traction. I guess I want a car with AWD where I can disengage the front at will and make it RWD 😃 X… ---

why is AWD winning this? If AWD was superior the F40, a car never meant to race in any class, would have been AWD [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/awd-or-rwd/24501.md?page=3) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/awd-or-rwd/24501.md?page=5)
