I'm scared to death of getting a light RWD track car and finding out I'm a shitty driver because I learned mostly behind the wheel of a WRX.  |
Yea I admit AWD is a fun crutch ; ). Though the best handling track cars ever have been RWD. Btw Scott not trying to stir up a debate, as I have enough of those on my sports forums heh. Just figured i'd explain my logic about the Porsche. Scott try driving a 350 torque SRT4, my last car! I would get wheel spin/hop in 3rd gear and it was super annoying. Fwd high torque cars suck bigtime. Once I got down a good slip it was decent but it doesn't have all the Torque steer protection/hardware of lets say the Mazdaspeed 3. My last cars were a FWD SRT4 and a RWD S2000 AP1 so i'm learning all the different wheel drives LOL.
