any true performance car is going to be either FR or MR, period. Nothing wrong with enjoying FF, but it was never intended to be a performance oriented layout. Can it perform? sure. Can you control the slip angle? ok then

I love all kinds of cars whether they be rwd, awd, or fwd. I have friends with all kinds of different cars/setups and i support their cars 100%. The nissan community is, always has been, and will always be divided because of this rwd sr20 240 bullshit. Yeah, its nice and hook better than fwd but if someone has your same engine and is making good power on a fwd car, why not compliment them or appreciate what they're doing. I know alot of people with a rwd 240 making under 300whp that will come to me and say my car's a piece of shit and will come on here and say this ve-t sux. I mean, its the same engine just on a fwd setup, big deal. How can you talk shit when i have an engine (sr20de) that is inferior to any other det out there and making more power than most people are? I am by no means bragging and my car still needs alot of work to be anywhere close to fast but at least im trying and i think im doing pretty damn good at it. I wish it was different and i would like to own a 240 one day because i personally like them but i think the sentra too has potential. This is why i stick to it and progress slowly but surely. Also, i would like to own a civic si one day because i think its a beautiful car and i like them alot. Yeah i said it, i like hondas. So, whats the big fucking deal? Whats gay is that you think someone is your boy but talk shit on the forums about you just because you dont own a rwd car like them........well, with time comes experience i guess.......

very true.....no matter if its fwd, rwd, or awd, you gotta give credit where credit is due, and in this case it is, its all about preference and what you like.....

do you know how to control anything? come on man, you are the last guy who can talk about what is good or what is bad, you have never had a fast car nor a quick one.

RWD is better for drag racing yes but its funner to beat someone witha FWD car

i already said it but it is impressive. all it needs is traction, though im sure on the street its still a handful.

kinda makes me feel like shit being i run the same amount of boost, and make about 200less horsepower haha. gotta love vvl and that extra point of compression.


edit- PS - good jorb, this thread has gone pretty well, glad to see most of you have been good so far

the VET sounds like a badass piece of manchinery, but it seems like a waste in a FWD. that motor would be alot mroe fun in a corolla, or super 7 or something light as shit, go hunting for Busa's and shit.
