This is a replica of the world's first self-propelled land vehicle (France, steam-powered, 1770). Thoughts?
>>16926777
probably still more reliable and better made than a Ford today
>>16926777
Sure is.
Don't crash this one.
>>16926777
it's fwd. By now, that should be named french wheel drive.
>>16928681
you are now my favorite person
>>16926777
Proof that FWD is dated as fuck.
I'm guessing it's faster when it reverses?
>>16928698
Why is fwd so fast in reverse?
The original was understeered into a wall
>>16926777
Nordschleife lap time?
>>16926777
Can it beat a corvette around Willow Springs?
>>16929082
7 hours 51 minutes.

Because when accelerating the weight shifts to the opposite side of where the wheels are going. Usually that's the rear of the car (and therefore the rear wheels). FWD is shit because it can't get the power down under acceleration as well as RWD can, UNLESS you're going in reverse, in which case it becomes RWD.
>fwd
>>16929129
Oh i see, so it's basically getting more """traction""" by shoving all of the weight on the driven wheels?
Has it run over any women yet
>>16926777
Know what I got.
>>16928681
Even the cars vaped back then?
>>16928761
This is true.
>>16926793
Neck yourself
>>16926777
I'd rather drive this than a mazda or GM product.
>>16929341
lol buying french shit, its slower then gt86
>>16926777
>Thoughts?
Needs some anime stickers
>>16929142
Exactly.
>>16926777
Napoleon should have used it as his panzer army
>>16928761
First the driver yelled aluah Akbar
>>16926777
Can you imagine how wet a cute French farmer's daughter got back then if you rolled into town on this?
>>16930357
by wet do you mean burned by steam?
>>16930357
that's not how women worked before
>>16928681
Kek, that's what I always call it, hope it catches on.
>>16926793
Fpbp
>>16929142
Fun fact
Mr2's and fiero's back ends are fwd cars reversed
In the case of the mr2 it's a corolla
>>16932456
>>16929545
lol
>>16932456
>reversed
no, they're actually played straight, they just put the fwd drivetrain on the rear wheels and called it a day.
>>16926793
>GM fans btfo
>they never recover.
>>16930342
Get your history right, man.
The driver yelled "Vive la Révolution" as he crashes his steam-powered wagon into a crowd of French aristocrats
>>16928748
because FWD, in reverse, is RWD
