Article: FWD vs RWD vs AWD
 

Comparison between the three systems:

"There is an unending debate going on about the drive systems of the passenger cars. As you already know there are three types of the drive systems: front wheel drive, rear wheel drive and all wheel drive. In this article you can find the answers to common questions such as:

• Why most passenger cars build today have front wheel drive systems?
• Why most of the race cars are made with rear wheel drive layouts?
• If all wheel drive has so many advantages over two wheel drive systems why is it so rare?

Wow.... So much misinformation, poor spelling, and even worse grammar.

You should write for Sport Compact National :knock_tee

Sorry, but I have to be blunt with this one. That article was awful. Next time do some research and use a spell checker.

scott

you read it already, its been 2 minutes... damn .... can you be more specific ?


[edit]
by the way, it was already spell checked.

It's such a pity that no 1920 Mini Coopers have survived. They would make such attractive museum pieces. Those Minis were so many decades ahead of their own time.

Breaking traction can be a very bad thing. It makes braking much harder to control.

yeah im gonna rephrase that part a little

You've never been out on a real race track, have you? I have. You would be amazed at how a fwd car can be set up to handle. On the race track, a fwd car can offer a lot of advantage over a rear wheel drive car when it comes to hard acceleration coming out of a corner.

What's that? A new type of olympic skating routine for cars?

article is writen by a friend of mine, he has been on a track, both his shelby turbo fwd and his friends rwd, from what i know formula 1 is RWD and they are the ultimate race track cars.

You should really try to include a picture of a 1920 Mini Cooper. I'm sure if you look hard enough you'll be able to find one on the web somewhere.

Oh? You mean you are speculating about the drivetrain layout of Formula 1 cars? You don't know for sure? :smilie_au

Shorter fron overhang? Or rear overhang?

And how does the current BMW Mini fit into this theory? It's got one huge overhang front and rear, right?

there was never a 1920 mini cooper, the guy was prolly thinkin of some other car, removed.

The reference to the 1920 Mini, or the whole article?

here it starts again, ing annoying already, we also mispelled breaking and wrote it as braking, dont forget to post about it too...

now, this is small or large overhang?
