I dont care if FWD is better than rear in the winter
It it the crappiest drive system ever and cheapest
Handling sucks, acceleration from stop sucks, boo FWD

I love my celica
But God how i wish it was RWD or AWD.. frown.gif

For once, I agree with mac wink.gif.

I don't see why people must complain about a drive set-up, when one isn't necessarily better than the other... It all depends on one thing, which makes a car fun and unleashes a car's capability... the person behind the wheel. The only immediate thing I see that hangs out, about why people complain, is that they'll never be like that Trueno on Inidial D (i just saw the series last week and have finally realized why people have been moaning and groaning)...


Right again. I own both front wheel and rear wheel drive cars. I've autocrossed both types of cars, I've road raced with both kinds of cars, and I've drag raced with both kinds of cars. They both have advantages and disadvantages. The most obvious is that in todays market, the FWD cars aren't tuned as well when stock as compared to the RWD cars. You guys are comparing a TOYOTA celica to BMW. What do you think will be the end result? You have to cinsider the base price of the vehicles in this comparison.

I would invite any of you to come drive my celica, or ride if you don't think you have the skills, and tell me it doesn't handle better than a stock BMW etc. I haven't gotten the fit and finish to that level, and I'm not making the power to weight that I want to be, but I'm soooo close. I have so many parts laying around waiting to go on and no time to do it...its so sad. Believe me, when this car is done, it will be a sweetheart. I would gladly take the pepsi challenge with any BMW.
