Because I'm not going to get sucked into looking like some punk trying to start **** on an internet forum, lets clarify that in my two posts I made a reference to 98Acura, regaurding him as a moron. On the record I was told to drift into traffic, called an idiot, etc. I've remained level headed and argued with facts and logic.
I'm not trying to sucker you into anything and to a degree resent the charge.
Its an opposing viewpoint, if you don't like them then I would strongly recomend thinking twice before posting your own thoughts.
In my reply I
clearly stated that I agreed with the theory that from a performance standpoint RWD is superiour to FWD, I was pointing out that in the world of motorsport exceptions have occured. You're point about the Mini vs Falcon is also not strictly valid either as the Falcon still had a massively superior PTW ratio, also you seem to have ignored the Bathurst 24hr result in which the class 'e' cars were very closely matched.
Its quite strange that you seem to have taken offence to someone who on the whole was agreeing with your statement (but not the attitude with which it is delivered) and pointing out a few exceptions.
Additionally you need to recall that in a thread titled "Whats you favorite FF Hatch in your garage" you posted with little more that distain and arrogance as to why all fans of FWD cars are wrong.
Before you sit and attempt to defend them, give me your Civic Nation bull****, or expell your ricer mentality, think about this:
Did you really post the above and think that it would not come across as arrogant and insulting?
As someone who has driven a huge number of excellent FWD cars (and I would strongly advice checking my profile before you cast doubt on my experience with the automotive world) I found it to be so. Thats not to say that the tone and comments used in the replies was justified, it was not and that was adressed. However to claim that you
remained level headed and argued with facts and logic. is a bit wide of the mark with some of the insults you threw back.
Were FWD cars ever designed with performance in mind? No certainly not, but quite a number have reached a level of performance and strength that the hunble origins would not have indicated possiable. Also a few have silenced RWD & AWD cars of similar PTW over the years.
You may not like them (which would raise the question of why you posted in this thread other than to cause trouble), but they have added to the diversity and all round experience of motoring and it would need a very closed mind to deny that (or a lack of experience of really good ones).
If you wish to discuss the relative merits of differing drive-train layouts I strongly suggest that you take it to the Automtive forums, a quick search will reveal that its a much discussed subject, read those threads and if you feel you have something to add then add it to those.
In the mean time what Famine, Duke and I have now all said stands. Keep this thread on topic or it will get locked.
