Please don't talk about "fast" FWDs anymore, that's just silly to even say.
FWD = slow econo car only made because they're cheaper to assemble. There is no such thing as a FWD performance car. Even Honda knows this, which is why their only two performance cars, the NSX and S2000 are RWD.
For every "fast" FWD there is a parking lot full of RWD cars that are faster and cost half as much to build.

i think he's talking about the AWD lambo where the lambo is primarily RWD but will switch to AWD on hard launches or whenever the computer sense the rear tires are slipping. this takes advantage of AWD traction without the loss of power of turning 4 wheels when its not needed.

FWD = Front wheel drive
RWD = Rear wheel drive
AWD = All wheel drive
LMFAO @ a Lamborghini Gallardo, Murciélago or Diablo being front wheel drive!
I'm sure Polaris guy was thinking FWD = four wheel drive, but it's still funny to imagine. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Because it's about as smart as trying to build up an ATC70 and MX race it.[/quote]
If you are racing other atc70's then it is fine. Lots of grown men spend thousands on 50's and do mx them. Nobody ever said there was a replacement for cubic inches. You did not mention what i said about spending way less gas money.
