Driving is about the experience, and many car enthusiasts would rather experience a fast car fighting for traction than be in that Camaro or SUV winning a few stoplight races to 50 MPH (not that there's anything wrong with SUVs, Civics and Camaros).
Many choose RWD for the purity of the driving experience, not because they're trying to win every race at stoplights.  |
OK but watch out for the fart can civic when you are making your next grocery run.
Hard to understand why some one would enjoy "fightning" for traction. Would hate to fight with a car to get it to perform.
For traction in my PURE RWD, manual transmission, manual steering, manual brakes, no nanny's car was tune out some of the V8's low end torque & add 13" wide 100 treadware DOT legal road course tires.
As for those Camaros you look down on a few have kicked the M series butt at VIR in the Lightning Laps series, Top Camaro is #17 overall 2:45:0 on the long course VS Top M series car M4GTS @ #48 overall 2:52:9.
What is interesting is there are 3 other Camaros between #17 & #48. The next M car is an M5C @ #56.
Could be better handling in a car you don't have to fight it the best way to go.
