I still hate front wheel drive.. Just doesn't make sense to have the

Please explain.


You basically have 2 tires doing all the work from one end of the car.
It is a lot easier to break them loose and be totally out of control.
My Prelude can get pretty squirrely when you are driving it hard.



I had a Mini-Cooper S many years ago, when I lived in KC. It only had a
1275cc engine, but...it begged to be driven hard, and I drove it hard. I
don't recall it being "squirrely." In fact, in the wet and in the snow,
it was even better than usual. For many years, the mini's were
successful in SCCA racing.
