1. FWD vs RWD (score: 1)
Author: Keith Wheeler <keithw@sand.net>

Well, I've heard it said that those who drive FWD don't drive cars, they drive appliances. Personally the only FWD that'll end up in my stable would be a Mini or an MG 1300. (And that's pretty picky

This always makes me think of watching those vintage LBC racing films they sometimes show on Speedvision. The big jags and our MGs and the TRs are sweeping gloriously around the corners in a controll

I own three RWD cars and they are lotso fun to drive. Putting down FWD is not a smart thing now days because of some major developments in that area. My daily drive is an infiniti I30T with active su

Or course you had to leave out my disclaimer in this quote. Comparing a Mini to anything is apples and oranges. A Mini is a wonderful car to drive, I've driven one in competition. Just because a Min

Obviously any FWD MG BMW is considering would be the cheapest part of a range of MGs. For Rover (should be called BMC again now) to make a Miata-price sportscar it would have to be based on existing

Well, be fair then. You can't put down FWD but selective exclude some cars. I can't say "you can't get an MG in any nice colours!" then say "you didn't read my disclaimer, I wasn't counting the reds,

My original commentary was based on someone having said "real race cars." I'm not comparing ancient MGs to modern Japan-o-cars, or tiny lightweight Minis to monsterous Jag sedans, my comment was: (a

Enrique, Out corner you where? At Laguna Seca or in some street playing? These are *worlds* apart. My answer was to someone saying something about "real race cars" all being FWD, and I was explaining

I have found that I have more fun drifting a RWD (eg. MGA, TR3 etc.) around a corner than I do in my Mini. Of course, the Mini doesn't really drift until ALL wheels are moving toward the side of the

I agree with you on the fact that messing around in the street vs true racing are worlds appart yet not all race cars are RWD as you tend to beleive. Granted that F1,Cart, Indy are all RWD but take

At least one FWD car was built as a true sports car, the Saab Sonnet. It handled very well indeed and could probably out corner any car ever made on wet/icey pavement. (Other things being equal, FWD
