All in good fun John.....

I KNOW it's driver over drivetrain configuration......it's just sometimes the "RWD is better" get's so thick around here-someone has to stick up for wrong wheel drive!

I personally know that it is the spec of the car.. Every time I made my FWD car faster, I made higher OA results...

A shit box is a shitbox. A shit FWD car is a shit car and a shit RWD car is a shit RWD car. Shit is shit.
It is what it COSTS to make a given car into a strong and relaible car that is the huge difference..
The 3-4-5 times cost in just the gearbox/diff/final drive means many, MOST will not do it...
And they will languish, get bored and drop out.
Or worse, buy a Subie and crawl along at 1/3 throttle like 90% of the train.

It isn't the Subie that makes someone crawl along at 1/3 throttle, anyone who'd do that in a subie would do that in whatever they drive. 1/3 throttle in a subie will probably still be faster than 1/3 throttle in a volvo or xr4ti.

Is this referring to who? The endless Merkur and Volvo projects out there or some fancy FWD reinvent the wheel newcomers?
