Whoa, calm down there man. Don't hate a bunch of guys because a company equipped a car w/ AWD. Just IMO, i would take AWD over FWD or RWD... it does plenyy well on the street, rally and autox. Don't sit there and complain, but know that if you where offered an AWD vehicle to autox in, you wouldn't jump on it. I sure would. No matter how good of an autox driver you are in your civic, if you jumped in an evo and autox, all you would do is . Even in the passenger seat of my friends evo and went rallying behind his house, I was just the whole dame time.

I can't speak for the STi because I never drove one, but I can speak for the WRX aswell, and it leaves a on my face.

my best stock was 13.7.

on average, i'm high 13's. if the track is slick and launching is tough, i'll be at 14.0 or so.

This has got to be the most ignorant statement I have ever seen.
1. Not all AWD drivers suck at driving.
2. They drive like a turtle? Obviously you have come accross some of the worst AWD drivers that can't drive worth a damn.
3. You never feel bad when you see an AWD guy mess up their car? That was hostile and compoletely uncalled for.
4. Hang with the big boys huh? You mean your little Civic? That's funny. You should come AutoX with me and my buddies. You will be left far behind. It won't be pretty.

You're giving all of us AWD guys a bad name. You yourself aren't making Civic drivers look any better right now. Eventually you will learn and you'll come accross one that can actually drive and you will get your a$$ handed to you. Good day!

The MR isn't all that much different from the regular Evo. Power wise. They have a little more but it's only about 5hp and 5lbs torque. Give or take a few.

The problem with this is that AWD becomes a crutch.. which causes the new driver to not only develop some very bad habbits but slows down their learning curve.

He joked that the Idiots guide to driving AWD was this

1. If the car is Understeering, Floor it.
2. If the car is Oversteering, Floor it.

Basically, the standard responce for AWD in just about any circumstance is to Floor it.


Talk about Idiot proof Driving...
here is my friend's plan:

he did open track with his Toyota Camry Solar, 4 bang, auto for the past two year. he amazes me on how fast he can drive that boat

this year, he'll be entering Spec Miata that he's currently building right now

then he wants an STI as a daily/open track car in two years

its a shame that he won't be entering in karting with me
