I think it was roughly around the same time I decided I'd prefer to be able to launch my car at more than 1500rpm without replacing my clutch.

Yes, use a Forrester like a normal person if you want a subaru that tows.

>>14719378
But nowhere near as quickly or safely, and your probably going to need winter tyres at the very least.

Isn't AWD supposed to prevent any for of traction loss, ie. drifting? Is your AWD faulty? How do you even manage to rip mad skids in a pigfat Merc?

You should use winter tires in any case retard. I've owned RWD, AWD, and 4WD cars. Tires literally played a bigger difference in winter driving that the drivetrain layout.

>>14719526
also not any winter tires . studded tires , if u are place where you stuck but with fwd and rwd , 4wd with lockers and studded tires will go

No point buying them if you barely need them, my r33 does me just fine on normal road tyres through the winter here

>>14719370
The RWD BMW E46 M3 GTR was literlly so good they banned it as well. Look it up

>>14719318
the Urquattro was so victorious mainly thanks to Walter Rohl. He joined Lancia later and guess who dominated then..

>>14719558
I mean they ban the actual drivetrain not a specific model of car. Audi and Nissan just had the two most famous examples of series organisers chucking their toys out of the pram about awd.

>>14719563
Peugeot.

Stig Blomqvist won the 1984 Championship with Audi, and Rohrl never won it with Audi, he actually switced from Lancia to Audi in 1983 because the 037 was obsolete

Wisconsonite here. AWD is love. AWD is life.

If you don't live in the snow, you don't need it. Out here, it's a godsend.

Lancia didnt surpass Audi till the mid engine revolution in Group B.

Audi refused to go Mid engine on principle that the cars must retain some semblance of being like their production line. This meant they fell behind the likes of Austin, Lancia and Pugeot.

Pugeot who were the first to move to mid-engine ahead of Lancia, but lancia who later perfected it.

Makes me feel like a massive pleb.

>>14728212
It's banned at some demolition derbies as well

I think winter is a good reason for awd. If you live in the north it helps quite a bit.
How is it a gimmick, having 4 wheels turn instead of 2?

>>14728716
>Lancia didnt surpass Audi till...
Audi was surpassed when everyone else developed their own AWD car. This is the ONLY reason Audi saw any success, was because they were the first viable AWD car. Otherwise the Audi 80 and 90 were a crap base.

>>14729133
Some retards here believe it only helps when accelerating, and completely become ineffective otherwise.

>>14729162
Not that anon but what other things does it help with?

>>14729219
holding a straight line while cruising and deceleration. AWD doesn't just stop working when not acceleration unless you have a shitcunt of a system.
Obviously though, you can have all the drive wheels in the world, but they don't count for much if shod with inappropriate tires.

>>14729479
That's what I was on the fence about, stability.
Thanks m8
