In a properly set up car, yes. So a VR6 FWD car with 60% of the weight over the front tires, more than likely with worse tires, possibly with a worse suspension setup than a stock R32, started understeering first, and thats why you think AWD will corner better 100% of the time over everything?

Come on man, thats just a rediculous statement.

so a gts with gtr suspension will handle better than a gtr?
and that was an example, not the basis of my opinion
and you can build a rwd car to handle better than an awd car, hence f1, but you can build any car handle better than any car soo, properly built is your argument?

No. My agrument is AWD has nothing to do with how a car can handle at all. Period.

And to think having AWD makes the car handle better is idiotic at best.

It tells me that obviously, AWD doesnt have that much of an advantage except on gravel/snow/mud and other surfaces that are not asphault/concrete.
That's probably because these "fastest cars eVAR!" that you still haven't listed are midship. Guarantee.

Edit: you did list some, I didn't realize you posted so much. Regardless, are you talking about faster along a track or what? Because all the Ferraris and Porsches you listed are slower than the Veyron. Which is faster, and AWD.

So, if the GT-R didn't have the ATTESA AWD system it'd handle just as well being strictly RWD? GTFO!

And the 1988 Callaway Sledgehammer Corvette is faster still, and it is RWD

Try this:

An AWD Skyline GTR. Full Slicks.
A RWD Skyline GTR. Full Slicks.

You mean to tell me the AWD skyline will run faster, only because its AWD, than a RWD skyline making the same power, with the same suspension setup, and the same amount of grip?

If so, then I'm giving up my argument and I'll just start talking to the wall behind me.

Ya, one car. No literally, ONE car, 'cause that's the only one they ever made.

Even in the rain or on wet surfaces? You better go talk to that wall then moron. As a matter of fact, cut a hole in it and hope a dick pops through. I'm sure you'd love that.

How many cars in the 200mph club at Bonneville are AWD?

You're a fucking idiot. Seriously, I didnt think I could meet someone as retarded as that other kid, you proved me wrong on that one.

the skyline was banned from japanese racing because of its awd advantage. Since then there have been no awd race cars in that series.

awd has advantages in turning because the front wheels help pull the front of the car in the direction its supposed to go. Unfortunately, combative differentials usually restrict awd turning capability at speeds in regular cars. The prodrive p2 concept car is one of the few cars that uses its awd advantage for full handling.
