This is a replica of the world's first self-propelled land vehicle (France, steam-powered, 1770). Thoughts?

Proof that FWD is dated as fuck.

I'm guessing it's faster when it reverses?
>>
>>16928698
Why is fwd so fast in reverse?

Can it beat a corvette around Willow Springs?
>>
>>16929082
7 hours 51 minutes.
>>
>>16928748
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.

>>16929129
Oh i see, so it's basically getting more """traction""" by shoving all of the weight on the driven wheels?

Can you imagine how wet a cute French farmer's daughter got back then if you rolled into town on this?
>>

no, they're actually played straight, they just put the fwd drivetrain on the rear wheels and called it a day.

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
