Butthole, that's a low blow
But seriously, that's the thing. You can't slam your foot down in a corner in a RWD car anyway. Especially one with a substantial amount of torque and light weight
. I've got it worked out to the point it's actually beneficial to have the lag with this RWD! You get into it right as you leave the corner and the explosion of power comes in right as you exit....fun stuff.
That said, i think the turbo in a FWD would be a little more safe around the corners, but probably more prone to power under if you're not careful with the throttle.
I just love the feeling of the delayed reaction and BOOM you're off.

Just an example of the acceleration i'm talking about. This was not a Streeeeeet Race...Just an acceleration run
