Why do people do fwd for performance Imagine if Honda put that

I'm open I agree

>>14287672
Because it isn't worth designing an entirely new car built around RWD. It's still a Civic.

They could build a real performance car if they wanted to, but none of us benchracers have $60k to drop on a new Honda.

>>14287795
>No Fun Allowed!

marketing, they want to make people believe their civic 1500cc is a sports car

There's a difference between fun and shitposting.

>>14287809
Not you again
The WORST bench racing rwd fag

>>14287816
If I get banned I'll be happy, because that means the mods are doing SOMETHING.

>>14287819
It's a legitimate argument...

Civic owners who think they drive a racecar get butthurt tho.

>>14287830
But I do drive a race car

>>14287828
Well then keep doing what you're doing because it's making me happy, and you are forgetting this is also a slow board right?

>>14287830
I know that, but based on the image and the first reply, a samefag, this is the Corey shitposting personality, and the thread should be deleted.

>>14287836
If it isn't street legal but meets FIA approvements, yeah it's a "track car".

>>14287855
Why the quotations
And it is street legal

>>14287819
not if you find shitposting fun

Because fwd in cars with less than 350-400 hp make no difference, in 5 years time you'll see ff cars that are faster than their 400 hp counter parts. Type r is already faster than the m3

>>14287884
>tfw the guy leading the race isn't even having fun because he is driving a FF econobox

Or the Civic is just holding up those BMWs and real sports cars

>>14287884
Exactly
Fwd can't handle high hp
Therefore
Rwd is better

OK and?
Fwd is bad

>>14287884
It's ok, nobody cares about the driving experience anymore. As long as the numbers look good, people will buy FWD cars and think they are having fun with the e-brake.

>>14287911
But you can't handle +400hp so it's the same again.

The Type R is just as fast as the 360hp M3 CSL that was made 12 years ago. Congrats honda.

Yeah fwd cars lol amright?

>>14287957
Isn't it funny that rwd people say it's better for performance, then when proven that FWD is equal they immediately jump to the "muh feels, it's about fun" argument?

>>14287861
Not a race car then, obligatory.

On the top end rwd is better but I'm talking over 400hp, and even then the gap is shrinking, the Renault Megane was destroying the competition for awhile

>>14288043
FWD handles bad admit it

In reality you're slower than a 2nd Gen civic

>>14288357
I don't believe you
Fwd has to be bad right
I mean
Why the fuck did I buy this miata if I hate convertibles
Fwd HAS to be bad
Show me a civic in the 90s miata price range that is better, I dare you

>>14287672

because it would be bad for business. they'd need to jack up the price, and potentially destroy their profitability. honda's strategy, while may not be aligned with car enthusiasts, has been working out quite well for them targeting the vast majority who just want well-priced commuters.

>>14288465
You honestly think all they make is commutermobile

Miata is shit, ABSOLUTE SHIT without mods

How can 90 hp put a smile on your face unless you're an absolute cuck

Wait you are a cuck

>>14288441
Really an ek or em1 si is leagues better and that's stock

>>14288535

>>14288547

It's a good beginners car but otherwise it's shit, they rust like they're made out of tin sheeting, that engine while reliable is absolute shit for power, even with 10k in mods won't make as much power as a 5k engine swap.

Stock suspension is a complete joke. You got cucked into the rwd meme. Every time I go to the track I see an eg civic destroying cars around the track including miatas

>>14288543
Having owned two EJ Civics, I'm going to correct you that the USDM "EK" couldn't touch a Miata stock vs stock. You are correct about the EM1 though.

>>14288601
3k and youre making 250whp with an na6
5k engine swap... dream on

>>14288607
Why not? What's bad about EK

>>14288613
Soft as fuck stock suspension, stock SOHC D15 or D16 engines are weak, slow steering rack, gearing for fuel economy.

You can make them quick, but pretty much everything has to be replaced on them. Like Honda did with the EM1 compared to the EX coupe.

>>14288642
Again, USDM "EK" have a SOHC D16 with -110hp. The EM1 is the only version that got the 160bhp B16.

Nice argument, how's that 5mpgs treating you? Mazda doesn't know how to make engines any better than American companies.

>>14288739

kek

typical honda poorfaggot argument. we are talking performance vehicles here not commuter vehicles. sorry not sorry that fwd cannot perform.
