do you own a saab 900?
i think they can be converted to rwd if you really want to make that work.

Skip the cuck rwd. Just buy a wrx or sti if you have the money.

where do you live? if you're in the north third of the US, AWD becomes the clear choice.

I own two, 1986 SPG and a 1993 2.1 n/a.

I've seen a very small number converted to RWD and AWD, but I would like to get familiar with RWD just so I can experience it.

Actually looking for an old 70's Saab 99 as a project car.

Washington. Shit weather and snow soon.

I want to try RWD for the experience and fun, along with AWD.

From what I read, AWD does suffer from some understeer issues. Is it possible to fix or reduce with ARB modification like FWD, or just an inherent attribute of AWD cars?

>>15854963
Yeah good balanced set of sways goes a long way. But honestly just learning how to drive the car helps. I can tuck my stock wrxs front end pretty hard with just throttle lift off.

im so angry i didnt buy a 1979 99 in opalgrön, it used to be a racecar iirc and was in mint condition

Tf part of Washington do you live in where you regularly see snow that even remotely sticks? If you're on the east side, I'm sorry, anon.

>From what I read, AWD does suffer from some understeer issues.
Thicker sway in the rear for the cheapest option, but won't eliminate it all. AWD with RWD bias instead of FWD bias also helps, but for the most part, it's always going to be there unless you dump tons of money into it.

Good to know, lift off oversteer can be pretty fun in FWD cars if you know how to control it.

Motherfucker. I've been looking for years and I've only found one in my area, dude stopped responding to me after I asked about the price and when I could visit.

I really want to find an unmolested 99, put a Saab b202 in it and go to town.

Transmission will probably explode but they are too much fun to care.

Skagit. We don't see too much snow, typically happens every 2-3 years from my experience.

This should be the year for decent snow in my area, assuming the pattern remains true.

Good to know, I modified both of my cars for near-neutral handling but I've been impressed with the handling of my friends Subaru.

Nearly hit a 4-foot diameter tree last week in the apex of a corner on some backroads. Friend driving cranked the wheel over and managed to avoid it like it wasn't even there, going about 40 MPH.

He was probably just a lucky attentive motherfucker, but it really made me interested in them.

Damn, you're pretty far north. I'm hardly ever passed Lynnwood when I'm up there, but I live down in Portland.

AWD is definitely a different experience, though. I've driven most platforms, and AWD always felt weird to me. I can't really explain it. I'm looking for an E30 325iX to be my next buy, though. I'd be happy with a ST165/185, but I'd be better off importing one, and I don't feel like doing that much work for one of those when there are other cars I'd rather import.

>E30 325iX

Not bad. I'm mostly a saabfag, but those are one of the few BMWs that I find attractive, along with the 2002 (Mostly because a friend of mine introduced them to me).

There is just something about |6 's that I find absolutely godtier.

It's hard to beat a |6

>saabfag who likes 2002s and e30s

>>15855072
