No, that was stock. When I put on the WGA it dropped down to 20/30 or thereabouts.

RWD = Fun, better feel, well balanced, more natural
FWD = Just plain gay, I mean WTF is TQ steer?
AWD = Eh My Subie feels like a RWD car most the time, I like it. AWD is very unpredictable though. Because you usually understeer first, then have random snap oversteer, its a very interesting feeling. AWD cars can be the most dangerous in the wrong hands. Itleast with a RWD car you can usually bring it back and correct it (better weight distribution). But shit with AWD all the weights still in the front, and it still fucking oversteers.

You asked and an answer was provided. I guess you were too stupid to do a little research on your own.

Oh BTW Any other FWD/RWD/AWD > Your car.

I dont have to do research, I'm not the one claiming that AWD is super badass and > everything. The burden of proof is not on me, its on the person claiming it as such.

And besides the fact, I dont really care what is > my car. I like my car, you dont have to.


Oh, and you didnt provide any proof, but I'll take your word if thats all you AWD sackriders have to attest to is one track record. Its obvious that its going to be difficult to find nonexistant records, and i dont want you guys to cry.

An NSX holds the record at the Tsukuba Circuit, btw.

The NSX did it in 51.875 seconds and the Evo did it in 53.589 seconds.

Oh thx budz.


So basically, AWD holds no records because it really isnt anything great in the hands of capeable drivers.

If you cant drive, AWD is rox0r. If you can drive, AWD is just extra weight.
