And they'd still be right. Which car moved off the line quicker and harder? The RWD car. Had the hp to weight ratios been equal, the RWD car would've crapped all over the FWDriver. Period. Making the drive wheels also have to do the steering and then hanging them off of the end of the car that gets the short end of the weight transfer stick is an exquisitely bad idea, especially when you're trying to make your drive axles live with the kind of power that nets you six second, damned near 200mph time slips.

Damn, one guy posts a vid of a 6 second FWD and now he's ignorant? Sounds like you are having a bad day or have a personal vendetta against FWD. I didn't see anyone arguing that FWD was faster Originally Posted by HITMAN

It figures that a liberal would look at something and get it completely wrong. Did you look at the post I quoted? Was it from the OP or was it from someone after the fact? Originally Posted by VroomPshhTsi

You said:Really? What does this look like to you?:I didn't see anyone arguing that FWD was faster
Car Guy, the poster I took issue with, made what I consider an ignorant statement. He alludes to the supposition that somehow one man's achievement with a handicapped drive train layout is a game changer. Gee, now that one guy has gone 6's with a FWD car, we should all switch over. That's why he had the little Originally Posted by Car Guy

I also gave props to the racer for his achievement. Had you read the whole post you would have seen that.

We all know that FWD is not the optimal setup, he was just making a statement that 6 seconds is hauling ass and people like you will still say "thats shit, its fwd." Go take your book of fail somewhere else. I will give mad props for running 6's. Thats faster than 99.99999% of us will ever go. Originally Posted by HITMAN

LOL how does that me a liberal?
Sorry I don't know all the feuds people have with each other on here. I'll try to keep up on the soap opera that is BCM better next time, my bad.
Also I did read Car Guy's comment and to me that just meant "someone is going to hate on FWD" not "OMG FWD is the best!!!"Daily Driver: 2009 Camry

Calling you a liberal has nothing to do with this thread, but your posts up in the "heated discussions" area. Those lead me to believe that you are, in fact, a liberal, and that gives me some insight to your faulty way of reading things. Originally Posted by VroomPshhTsi

Doesn't it get old defending fwd hondas? Personally I just don't see the obsession besides the fact that "omfg my fwd econobox beat your sports car"...I mean, its not like its a real sports car or like it has some kind of racing pedigree to be proud of. Not really hating because I can really careless about hondas, if I loose it sucks, if I win...it dosen't matter....(theres more to cars for me than just how fast it goes) im just curious because this has been going on forever and it seems like your up for the argument every time and all I see is how fast it can go down a line (same argument can be made for ANYTHING on 4 wheels) is it just the underdog feeling that you get off on?
