FWD vs RWD vs AWD, I want to get the idea out of my head once and for all Options

[The_enD]

The Celica is my first car and even tho I've driven all of the wheel configurations mentioned in the thread's topic I don't have that much experience except with FWD obviously.
Ultimately I want a fast car, that sticks well into corners and responds very well to your steering actions. And gets decent millage.
Why I want and don't want RWD in a Celica. It's fun. That seems like the only benefit. It's expensive, time consuming and from my knowledge not the best for cornering since when you push the throttle the back of the car will slide.
Why I want and don't want AWD in a Celica. Great launch. That seems to be the only benefit in my eyes. We don't have much snow in my town and I don't have problem with it anyway to want a vehicle with better traction. I plan on a 3S-GTE and AWD, from my understands, will be a bit slower compared to FWD. And the millage will be worse.
FWD- With that setup the wheels just pull the car out of the corner. I won't spend money with a RWD or AWD conversion. All the speed will be there up front on the wheels on the highway.

What's your opinion?

ok im going to get grained for this.

this car is fun in fwd. Beams is a good engine, your best option in your neck of the woods, since you are able to get parts, more than we do. I dont know if you have easy access to v6 parts, so you can swap a v 6.

A RWD is doable. It is more expensive. yes you have to cut firewall and all that jazz, ive seen it done before in other cars. but it requires a lot of expertise.

if you want awd just get a gt4. or you can get a gt4,and convert into rwd. would also mean to cut firewall.

stick with FWD. swap if you need more power.
