is there any reason to have RWD on a street car?

>>17294723
If Honda did the FWD Le mans Prototype instead of Nissan do you think it would've been as much of a fuck up?

>>17294831

Is there any reason for people like OP to exist?

Thanks anon

I thought I was just a poorfag who couldn't afford to drive a good RWD V8, now I realize I'm actually pragmatist choosing not to because FWD is superior

>>17294723
I like those wheels, but they're $2000 from VW.

All of the GTIs for sale around here have those fat swastika wheels that come standard on the MK7s.

>>17295177
I like the GTI, but those default wheels are seriously shit. And like you said, opting for one of the alternate wheels is seriously expensive.

>>17295192
I'll wait for the 2018 to drop then sweet talk the dealer into getting me a good deal on replacement wheels on a 2017.

>>17294846
It would never finish a single race.

FWD turbo cars are always fun, awd turbo 4 bangers are best though.

>>17294764
why you post rwd?

>>17294751
that is a shooting brake though.

>fwd eliminates the need for a driveshaft which means the interior will have a bump along the middle to accommodate it
>fwd cars STILL have a driveshaft hump

What did they mean by this?

Drivetrain is irrelevant to fun, really. A well set up FWD car can understeer as little as a RWD car, and can get the back end out. Drivetrain arguing is basically autistic shit flinging.

>>17296928

I never understood this. Maybe brake lines and exhaust pipe are in the bump to get more ground clearance?

>>17296929
My nigga
Renault Sport is no joke

>>17296935
>>17296929
Technically you're much more likely to have a better set up chassis with RWD as well as the ability to put more power down thanks to 2x the grip for the drive wheels.

>>17296928

exhaust

>>17296929
>>kill 2 people and go to prison tommorow.**

Clio story had a really gr9 ending didn't it.

>>17294723
for 100% of drivers this holds for 99% of their driving. maybe 1% of drivers notice at max 1% of the time they're driving what the layout is.
Sure there are drivers who truly apex and drive really hard from time to time. that is why there is a small market for people who think this is them and they need a RWD.
For most normies FWD would be the objectively best choice. But then again. normies don't know the difference and will ask their autistic boyracer friend who claims RWD is BWD.
I'll be honest. I drive RWD and rarely come close to the griplimits and am actually afraid i might loose it and crash even though i've gone sideways plenty of times. (on purpose).
my biggest concern with going FWD would be engine accessibility.

fwd is set up toe out
then gets pulled into alinement with application of power

You know there are people who are buying cars not only to commute but also to have fun.

I have two cars and one is two seater RWD coupe. It's not practical but fun to drive anyways.

Stop being poor

B-but muh drifting

>>17297033
You don't want to run any toe if the car sees street use, but you can run a limited slip for street use, and that's something that hurts FWD turning abilities if it's even a bit aggressive.

>>17296928
Most don't? At least not the FWD cars I've been in.

how do they do it lads?

Why the fuck is every modern rwd offering so fucking massive and heavy?

This is why I keep opting for fwd hot hatches. Every rwd car outside of the Miata and the BRZ is 2pigfat4me
