Rear wheel drive cars are superior in every way. Handle balance maintenance etc. Front wheel drive sucks. How many formula 1 cars are front wheel drive? Ask any race car driver about front wheel drive. LOL.

I’m with you. I’ll take RWD over FWD every single time.

I guess you never heard of snow.

Racing? Is that how you drive? Kicking in the turbo on a hairpin turn just so you can get a little tire-spin and drift action? FWD cars don't do that...they just go where you point them.

Besides, F1 cars don't have a big bouncing cast iron rear axle/differential and a driveshaft connected to a front mounted engine. They have a FWD-type drivetrain, mounted right behind the driver.

Ask any race car driver about front wheel drive.

OK, I've seen VW Golfs blow the doors off of 4cyl Mustangs in mini-stocks, their rear wheels bouncing like basketballs. I doubt a MG Midget or other RWD sports car does real well against a Mini Cooper or Golf on a sports car track.

I don't see a lot of RWD cars faring well in Rally Racing...which is hell-bent-for-leather driving, on real bad road conditions.

Speaking of real-world driving conditions; Up here, RWD pickups are so worthless you can barely find one even to buy. In Maine, with the worst driving conditions imaginable, virtually all vehicles are either FWD, 4WD or AWD.

Real-world conditions dictate that.

You must not get very much snow in central Virginia. Front wheel drive is a lot easier to drive on a icy or snow packed street.

How many formula 1 cars have you seen driving 6 months in snow and ice?

Where I live, I'll take front wheel drive over rear any day.........

As anyone who lives in Michigan for the winter.
