Convince me why NASCAR and INDY races cars are not fwd. There must be good reasons why they are not. And I'm pretty sure they are working with people with PhD in physics. FWD cars are good upto a point. Once hp gets enormous and size of the car get big it's better in RWD/AWD setup |
NASCAR, for one, I was involved in, and know a few people in NASCAR...
The reason they're still RWD is because 1. up until early this year they still used the floor board of a 65 IMPALA, and they still used the Rear suspension setup from a 67 Ford F100 pickup truck (no bullsh*t)...wonderful to hear huh? Old technology. The main rule in NASCAR is Keep it the way it was. I mean damn, they still rolled 358 small blocks with carburetors and 4spd manual transmissions.
There's your Reason for NASCAR
For INDY and Formula 1, look at all the crap they banned then allowed, then banned then allowed to keep the F1 cars safe...Traction contol being one of them Hell even some slick teams in NASCAR fit traction control... FOR WHAT REASON!?! to stabilize cornering. since with that much power it's easy for the cars to loop around, OR you lose time trying to keep it going around the corner because you can't get on the throttle soon enough.
Now don't get me twisted, Every drivetrain has its ups and downs. RWD just has more downs than ups. BUT for some reason, it's the one on the WHEATIES box, wherein it's not even the RWD that makes any fast car, it's the setup.
BTW, What'd i say about Power and Weight? nothing matters other than grip. you get enough tire under a car and it'll handle. And let it be known, i'm not saying FWD>* if you start saying that your argument will instantly get ignored because 1. you didn't read, and 2. you're putting words in my mouth
Also, i'm not here to change your preference, i'm stating facts. If you like it, you like it, but now you know why you like it, and it's not because some random Joe Blow just told you it was better. You just like it because that's your taste.
