BMW's front-wheel drive car spied

[exdeath]

You guys saying how fun it is to spin tires and lose the rear end have clearly not driven cars with more than 200 hp. Same with people with ecconoboxes who think they are cool chirping their tires in the rain.

When you have 3-4 times that and youre nervous about taking on a slow ass 350 z off the line because you can't find any tires that won't spin instantly, and you can't use your car for what it was built to do, that shit gets old very very fast. When you spin all the time and don't want to, you dream of traction and wish you *couldn't* break the tires loose. In a fast car, no traction seriously sucks balls.

Yeah its fun when you do it on purpose, but in a fast car its more fun to dead hook in first gear and lift the front end while being pinned to the seat and staying perfectly straight. Feeling like you're on ice in 100 deg weather is not.

Yep the most powerful vehicle I've driven was the Grand Cherokee with a whopping 235hp. I'd rather have less HP and RWD that I can safely oversteer in normal driving than a track monster AWD Subaru.

You just lost what little credibility you had.

My little car does that. It kinda annoys me because it sounds like I'm trying to be dramatic. I'm just trying to get up to the speed limit bro.

new rule: you're only allowed to say how much power the vehicle can handle without exploding. My friend has a V8 cherokee and it feels like the world is ending if you do anything that even remotely resembles flooring it up to the red line D:

Because I can only afford vehicles from before the horsepower wars?

Sounds like something is wrong with his V8. Or maybe it was one of those old pushrod engines. The 4.7 is a great engine. It was meant to be a modern replacement for the old 4.0L I6. 235hp, 295ftlb. It got 22mpg highway, revved well, and put out great torque which is good for offroad.

I'd consider buying a FWD BMW is the price is reasonable; I'd never buy a RWD car......I want something I can drive in any weather without reservations.
