go away.

1. RWD is considered the "purest" handling platform.
2. Torque steer is experienced on a vehicle with driven front wheels, so it would be kinda difficult to get torque steer on a muffstain. What you probably experienced was oversteer.
3. If you don't want to be mature and listen to what people are telling you, or come up with solutions on your own for your hair brained ideas, then by all means post away. What you are doing right now isn't going to get you very far. No one wants to help you right now.

BESIDES rally, what wheels are driven in nearly every other form of racing? The only place you see predominantly FWD or AWD is in rally or non tarmac based racing.

The only reason I was picking on Neandethal racing's writing comprehension was because it went perfectly with his screen name not for any other reasons. Because I'm sure we all make mistakes when writing fast too.




Cutnedge thread. What does that have to do with real wheel drive. Or am I missing something.
