Re: Why the bias against front wheel drive cars?

The real reason you cant chain drifts in a FWD is because its to hard to control onces the car's weight is moving around in the back, Unlike RWD there is not throttle to modulate....and you cant just wait for the wheels to even out on there own, its just like the oversteer snapback you see on games like GT4, its a pendulum and its hard to stop/straighten out.



like the dreaded flatspin of top gun, although yes, sometimes you can prevent it from getting to the point of no return.
