Advantage of RWD?

analog_boy · 01-23-2005, 12:13 AM

I have asked a bunch of my friends if they knew the particular advantages of RWD and FWD. For FWD, I know first hand that it is better control in the winter, but what about RWD?

weight shifts to the rear on launch, giving better traction

That says it. And AWD is the best in snow. FWD sucks in the snow (I have seen it first hand today).

i had a front wheel drive car with studded snow tires it was better on ice than a 4 wheel drive suv i drove it for 2 winters in NY 89 pontiac lemans 1.6L [:'(]. there would be vehicles stopped at a bottom of a hill because they couldnt make it up and i would go around them. In the snow there the best if you know how to drive. You get better traction in the snow with a FWD versus a RWD because of all the weight on your drive tires. Anyways what are you trying to compare a mustang with FWD lol.

Much better traction and the burnouts cannot be argued. We're all on a steady diet of burnouts and wheelie lauches!...God bless this greedy country.lol[sm=patriot.gif]

And anywhere else. My mustang will never see snow. Mustang + snow = bad idea

so true..I drove 300 miles in a snow storm went up afton mtn in 3rd gear gas mashed to the floor and wheel turn all the way to the right..not fun..had to get gas when it reach 3/4 tank to keep traction never got over 30mph....never again
