FWD was invented for economy cars. Every single serious sports car is either RWD or AWD. Accept the facts.
And if you want to continue to talk straight line, lemme ask you this: When you accelerate to which part of the car does sall the weight shift? That's right to the back of the car, and what set of wheels is directly under? The rear. Your supposed "rectification" of the loss of traction can't compensate for this simple law of physics.
Take it from someone who owned FWD cars and loved them and went to RWD and will never go back. FWD is always going to be inferior to RWD or AWD.
I'm not trying to be snobby about it either, it's just a cold hard fact.
anyone see Stephan Papadakis' FWD racer? Last time i checked that was a FWD that was setting world record speeds and was beating alot of RWDs. So sure RWD is better then FWD in more ways than one....but it doesnt mean FWD is inferior.

Everyone has their own opinions. You dont need to think up something just to sound like an A$$H0L3, then call it your opinion.

i hope you teach just one person that rwd > fwd.
and as for dual exhaust on a civic, well you might as well have a fake hood scoop and fake air ducts.

Rep Power: 365 im all about functionality. im unaware of any inline engine that is better off with duals... if your exhaust ports are all on one side, then single pipe.
this is just my preference, and unneccessary dual exhaust falls into the same category as fake scoops/ducts imo.
