Driving in the snow and slick...

[Killbat]

Did you know that it's hard to do donuts in a front-wheel-drive vehicle? Unless you do it in reverse... Mwa ha ha...

 

[Farbio]

a neffing we will go....


and yes, its so much more fun to have rwd in slick conditions, the fishtails are so great

did you know that abs totally screws up your donut fun? take out the abs fuse if you plan on doing it. hmmm, never thought about doing it in reverse with a FWD car...smart.............

 

[Farbio]

biggie, abs doesn't have to screw up your dougnut fun....just keep the right foot planted and u never have to worry about it

 

[Killbat]

Which is the real question, isn't it... which is better for slick conditions, FWD or RWD? (no 4WD!) I'm partial to FWD because it's the type of car I always drive, BUT, if you think about it, there are three advantages to it:
1) The weight of the engine is on the drive wheels
2) The drive wheels can be directed
3) The driver gets feedback on steering AND traction through the wheel

*ahem* E-brake *ahem*

C'mon guys, I rarely use an ABS vehicle and I know that...

Farbio, we have GF quotes in our sigs!!!!!!!!!! we are blood brothers...not.


i'm voting for front wheel drive. ooh, it's time to go neffing now.....

 

[Farbio]

lol biggie

for actual driving control, fwd is much better than rwd in slick conditions for exactly those you pointed out killbat. rwd is just more fun

 

[Wah]

you don't have to worry about ABS when you have a handbrake.

Pull the ABS fuse while your playing.. it lights up the dash with idiot lights but it's only temporary while your having a blast

RWD is best in slippery conditions, but preferably with the engine above the rear axle

i don't even want to think about slippery weather. the other night it snowed and was icy as hell. anyways, i was going around in the parking lot just doing 15km/h when suddenly i turned. expecting the car to turn right, the damn thing just kept going straight, and the next thing i knew, i hit an island and the bottom frame of my car just scoured it! i was PISSED OFF!!! like you wouldn't believe :| but luckily there was no damage
