I've got some vids of a "lame" FWD SRT-4 taking out an EVO if really wanna stand by that stupid statement. Last time I checked running in the 12's wasn't very lame.

I've also got some SCCA Pro Rally results where a "lame" FWD car (the SRT-4) beat AWD cars (including EVO's from a higher class).

Why do people post crap like that?

 

A stock factory turboed Sentra, not modded. Just like a stock SRT will get a beat down by a stock STI/Evo (with the right driver, of course), especially from a dig.

It's just my opinion. FWD cars are LAME, period. I don't care if they run 8s and tear up a road course. When the wheels that steer are the wheels that drive, it has an artificial feel to it. I owned several FWDs and a 245 WHP V6 Altima. I'd rather have a slower RWD or AWD than a super fast FWD.

Rally results are not a way to justify a FWD car. It's all in the driver. I can have Marcus Grunholm drive my Evo and put a beat down on many cars that have more power and inexperienced drivers.

May I remind you it's a EVO site.

 

Have you seen the upgraded interior for the altima SE-R? Its soo nice, theres not chance the evo has a nicer interior... Seriously it is a nice car, but the price is gonna be outa this world compared to the evo and STi its gonna be slow and overpriced!!! but i must say the interior is quite impressive.

 

wanna race a 400whp se-r spec v? u think ur evo will win?

money equals power, it doesn;t matter what platform you start with because u can make anything fast if u have money!! we don;t no a thing about what engine nissan would put in the sentra.. if they dropped an rb26 tt in there ur evo would stand no chance stock for stock... we'll never no because nissan sure as hell doesn;t have plans to turbo the se-r... i mean even the new skyline gt-r is gonna be N/A... thanks alot frenchies (renault)

 

I can certainly see your point and I myself am not a huge fan of FWD either to be honest but calling them "LAME" seems to give a connotation as if the cars don't perform and clearly they do as FWD cars (such as the Neon/SRT-4, SE-4, Integra/RSX, etc) win road races, drag races, and rally races consistently. FWD cars can perform, handle, and go very fast.....they're just not your cup of tea which is understandable. It would be like me saying all AWD cars are LAME because of the power loss through the drivetrain and diffs....you'd probably get your back up. (just an example, I am a BIG fan of AWD)

The rally results are from pro drivers in the SCCA Pro Rally Championship which is top of the line cars and experienced drivers.

 

^^^ im sorry, but im a nissan fan till i die and still am (lovin my 02 sentra se), but the nissan platform (engine-wise) are stronger than the mitsus. Yes a FWD sentra can and will take out and AWD sti/evo. Dont have me get some of the my turbo ser/spec V sr20/qr25 friends in here
