What is the point of front wheel drive?

economics, cheaper to make cars

>>14299713
light weight
space
performance

>>14299713

die

cheaper to manufacture
more interior space efficient
more gas efficient i believe

also when cartarded people hear rear wheel drive they assume drift missile that will skid and kill their family

Daily reminder 2015 GTI is faster than 2016 Miata and 2015 ecoboost

>>14300039
it fucking has 300 hp

>>14299890
I think it's more gas efficient by virtue of less drive train loss.

>>14300138
So does the ecoboost.

You delusional faggots just need to admit fwd can compete.

>>14299983
Everything in that pic is wrong

>>14300138
actually it has 210. 220 if you get the performance package

>>14299713
Cheaper,
less power lost to the wheels,
lighter,
More efficient,
If you have a short wheelbase, a clutch, and good driving skill then you can kick the back end out, or induce lift off oversteer
Or if you have a LSD and a well built car you can just power through corners.

Most people on this board don't even own a car let alone have experience in multiple types of cars.

FWD, RWD, and AWD all have pros and cons, but on /o/ there are too many video game nerds jerking off to AWD cars like the gtr, and wrx, although they've never actually driven one,

There's the baby boomers and miata fags who think rwd is the best shit ever because they think the only fwd cars that exist are base model civic sedans and the only AWD cars are trucks and SUV's

And then you have the fwd crowd who think they are "touge kings" in thier del sol.

Basically everyone on /o/ is an opinionated faggot who doesn't have enough experience or information to even form said opinion.

what does short wheelbase even mean

>>14300310
This

I have a fwd car. However it has an LSD, brembos, good aftermarket coilovers, sways/strut, 200+whp.

I'd be willing to bet it would make anyone on this board smile like a retard.

I drive an dc5 type s and love honda. I wasn't saying the frs was a better car because it's not.

I'm just saying that all the numbers in your pictures are wrong. A 3 second google search would tell you that

>>14300513
we are talking laptimes here, not 0-60 kiddo

>>14300519
A wheelbase that is short when compared to the average wheelbase among cars.

I'll give you an example;
Your dick would be considered a short dick because when compared to other penises it just isn't as long.

But I guess if you were the only man left on earth 3 inches would be the new huge

>>14300540

>>14300555
When you hear "short" what do you think of?
And you knew what a wheelbase was.

Put them together

>>14300573

but what IS a short wheelbase?
whats the maximum a short wheelbase is

>>14300576
It would depend on the vehicle.
Just like "a lot of horsepower" varies from vehicle to vehicle.

In most road cars a short wheelbase would be between 102 - 97 inches

because putting this in the back of a car makes for a deadly weight distribution
not to mention killing all the trunk space

also if manual tranz it makes the shift links and clutch cable much longer

Less drivetrain losses, Better winter driving, Rear storage space can more easily open up into the cabin for overflow than a front storage space

At least that's what I can think of.

This is a shitposting thread. Please don't bump it.

>>14312662
Literally every thread is a shitposting thread.

I've seen a lot of shit. But your posts ? Your posting style ? It's a disease, a cancer if you will. Never in my life have I felt more disgusted than when I read >>14299713 it is legitimately awful, I'd call it skin crawling. After read the horrifying text I opened the image and immediately closed it, I honestly felt sick to my stomach and still do. I'm not calling it cancer in the playful fun 4chan banter way, it is literally a debilitating disease. That post was pungent , that post was leprosy , that post was those freaky brown spiders in Australia that make those awful bites. That post is a rotting corpse with skin eating bacteria. It's funny that I can read horrifying shit, I can go to an onion site and watch something awful. But after years of doing this , you know what finally unsettled me? Your post. Your post is a disgusting mess that ERODED off your disgusting body with a rotted mind that's worthless to everyone and worth nothing to you. May God have mercy on your damned soul.

My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, "If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately." Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately.

Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- "Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because your post gave me cancer anyway.

In short, go back to /v/
