actually yes i have. in a friends civic hatch. i never said "shitty oconomy cars" cant drive. i gave them theyre respect. did i not say that poeple have been able to do some cool things with them? my point was, when honda designes a new civic unibody they DO NOT make it with intentions of scca racing or any kind of racing for that matter. same for the neon, cavalier, focus. when toyota designed the ae86 it was on there minds to make a great handeling car. same for the corvette, miata, s2000 solstace, ect. theres is one common reason a company actually makes the effort to design a rwd, and that performance. i dont think any company sits at the drawing board and says "lets make a great handeling FF car for the sports car market". sounds funny right? there are some FF cars that have performance trim levels, neon/srt4, integra/type r, cobalt/SS and others. but those are merely trim levels that make a grocery getter more appealing to the youth market. nothing past extra power and some braking/susp mods. and maybe a "mad tight" system.

FF cars = FAIL.

RWD cars = badass.
