these are all things you should already know. RWD will always own FWD in dry performance. FWD will always have more all-season practicality. ---

put 180lbs of weight in the back and some 225/60/16 tires on the back of a f-body and you have instant winter car. my firebird was used as a winter beater for 2 winters before i owned it and the guy never had a problem with it. im thinkin 3rd gen firebird with ls1 6spd for my winter beater. ---

i posted this before in a previous FWD vs. RWD arguement… GrassRoots did an article about this… RWD, vs. FWD, vs. AWD. 3 cars were… WRX, RSX typeS, BMW 330i all with same tires & did both wet & dry auto X’ing 5 runs in each conditon with each car. everytime…they came in this order WRX, RSX, BMW of course type of car makes a difference but these are 3 that are decent to compare. I’m not saying one is better then the other…they all have advantages & disadvantages. comments: WRX…easier to drive @ limits RSX…most fun to drive BMW…felt the quickest…but times didn’t show it. ---

> [@Quik](#): > > Mac i know of 2 shells for youre 3rd gen buildup. blue jsut for you > > RWD hooks alot better then fwd for drag > hell even Rwd will hook better then AWD if setup right that’s because of the inherent nature of double wishbone suspensions…if you could make an awd setup that had 2 solid axles it would hook really good but most likely destory itslef
