It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |

I like a nice FWD car for lower hp racing. FWD transfers the power to the ground really well, and it's easy to control and predict. My first car was a FWD, and that's what I spent a lot of time getting used to. Before that, it was mostly motorcycles with a few go-karts. I've driven my fair share of RWD, and it's fun and all, but in lower hp applications you can't beat the FWD. I haven't driven enough AWD cars and pushed them to tell anyone how they compare. On the older muscle cars, they oversteer bad because the suspension sucks on most of them. It's not really a big concern of a lot of muscle car guys to have thier car hugging corners. Newer RWD is better when put with a new independent rear end, especially when mated to a LSD. LSD's just seem to be more common on RWD cars though, so I'm not sure if that can really be argued as part of it. I'll stick with my FWD until I feel the need to have more than 250-300hp. It's a lot driving style too. My dad grew up on RWD, and he can't make a FWD car go fast at al because he just can't predict it. If you know how to drive a good FWD, it's an excellent race car.
