Agreed. I would eat your awd and rwd car for lunch dude. You need to read more. All platforms have strengths. I am happy when STOCK my grocery getter FWD car can goto a track like summit point and pass s2k's RWD subbies AWD etc etc.

Not hating on any of these cars. But dude I am sorry your thread failed. You failed at drifting and you are a day late and a dollar short to the car scene retire now, with what little pride and knowledge you have.


At the end of the day, the most intellgent posts have said it the best. It comes down to the driver and how well he knows his car. You are a young buck and have been for no more than 5 years my guess. Drive more,read more and respect your elders son.

I'll race you. Let's see your 1.1. I've talked to big slicked domestic RWD doing 1.38. And you're doing 1.26? Wow.. Your either talking out your ass, or you're running fat slicks with a LOT of power.
