Have you ever raced or seriously tracked a FWD car?

The two are just different. Both can be throttle steered, but that in and of itself does not a great car make.

As for the sterring feel, I think a FWD car has better feel. I have a much better feel for what the driven wheels are doing becaue have one more input for evaluation. In a FWD car on the limit I can feel real nuances in the traction.

Still I do that those with the very best of skills will get a bit more from RWD.
