This has got to be my dream build , a Turboed baleno running on RWD .. Possible and amazingly decieving if such a thing can be carried out in india .. Advantage not only on a dragstrip or a track , im thinking about the fun factor , drifting et all ..

Vid6639 · 12th March 2007, 08:52

has to be RWD for the fun factor involved in driving one.

nitroxx · 12th March 2007, 08:52

Personally I'd prefer rear wheel coz I like kicking the tail out on curbs and even though a AWD skyline r34 would be straight line stronger and is my dream too..I'd love having a 2.2 liter,237hp@7800revs 6 speed manual, under my A** (Honda S2000)and Vid the question reads why and which car as well...Please guys a lil more specific like Mclaren put it.

After yesterdays drive it has to be AWD for me. And rear wheel drive for a daily driver.

cheap_deal · 12th March 2007, 09:53

real wheel drive for sure any day, oversteer is mindblowing.
350z, infiniti g35, bmw 330ci, 335, m3 all great and in the order of increasing prices.

rear wheel drive. the way the car drift around the corner and wheel spin can only be done in a rear wheel drive cars

contessa,chevelle

For fun : RWD.

For timings : AWD.

Another good discussion on this : here.

planet_rocker · 12th March 2007, 12:03

RWD for me anyday.

by the way how many of you guys own RWD cars? just a question.

nitroxx · 12th March 2007, 12:08

thats what I wanted to figure out planet rocker,what are the options of rear wheel drive cars in our country,its funny that the real choice that people make doesnt make a difference to the manufacturers,but there was this one car the Contessa that really stole everyones heart.

theMAG · 12th March 2007, 12:27

My current car is a FWD. Ideal would be AWD

sbasak · 12th March 2007, 14:28

I never pushed any car to its limit. So, can't actually feel any difference when driving either a FWD or RWD.

Yet to drive any AWD...

rks · 12th March 2007, 14:40

Voted for FWD. Safer, more precise handling. I have never been to the race track, I am talking about routine commuting on Indian highways. AWD is really not required for these conditions and would be a waste; have never driven one anyway.

V-16 · 12th March 2007, 14:57

An all wheel drive any day followed by a Rear wheel Drive and then the Front wheel drive in that order. The traction you get and the confidence you feel in an AWD while cornering is unexplicable. Try doing a 60-60 on an AWD then you'll know the difference. Then the RWD, thats what driving thrills area all about. Redards the FWD, well all the right cars in India are FWD so whats the choice.

mine has to be rwd could have the fun on the strip as well as have the fun on daily drive.
