your right that is way more dangerous then a rwd doing a huge wheelie then squirreling all over the track and slamming into the wall what is that fwd driver nutz!!! LMFAO buy a new camera and while your there invest in some brains
@SlowLXNotch ALL drag racing is gay... even gay people say "yeah, drag racing is fucking gay".
It's a pissing contest for people that don't know how to go around corners, and a use a tightly wound engine as a penis substitute. Going in a straight line is boring, pointless, and requires very little skill... that's probably why only chuds and morons do it.
@TheRenegaderacer Only a dumb fuck like you would say that drag racing requires very little skill. From that idiotic comment alone, shows that you've never drag raced. Getting your launches right, shift points correct, throttle control, etc... all require "skills". Show us a video of you doing these things correctly before you speak out of your ass-crack the next time you try to bash drag racing.
@ThatDumpedAssWhiteLS I stand by my opinion. You talked a bunch of shit, trying to defend drag racing (all of which is also required for road racing) but it's still just going in a straight line, and it's still boring.
@apexdna Mostly shifter kart racing. Did Skip Barber racing school at Laguna Seca, got my SCCA license, hooned a Formula Ford around Sears Point (Infineon) for an afternoon... and yes, I've done some drag racing... it's a straight line, and it's boring.
@ImportKid954 nah cos he was in 1st, so nothing to downshift into.. sounds like the engine cut tbh, this happened on my motorbike and the rear wheel locked.. at about 90mph.. fun! :)
zombiewraps, If the car throws all the weight to the back and there is no weight on the front, the spinning of the tires makes the front end bounce. Wheelie bars stop alot of the weight slamming to the back and will help keep the front wheels from bouncing so much. It's like 8th grade simple sicence, but i guess you didnt make it that far.
The engine didnt die. The tranny broke a gear. The broken gear then followed its path and wedged its self in with all the other gears thus locking the tyres. Wheelie bars stopp it from slamming back, body kits keep the air running across the bummper to keep weight pushing down to keep traction on FWD.
@iangameboy and if the engine dies it has to lock up to lock the tires. If you are driving a stick and the engine dies it still will turn the engine it just wont make any spark or have fuel pressure. It sounds like its running but all you are getting is compression and decompression which makes sound when the valves open.
@civic0412 iangameboy, you the lump 3 feet above your ass before you say something. Thats why its there, go out and take a car that happens to be a stick, if you can drive one, and shut down the engine and make sure the clutch is out and you will see that you are WRONG.
but what ur forgetting is on the takeoff the front end will lift with more torque thus lifting the tires lowering the weight and reducing traction on the front DUMSHIT
Actually RWD cars can leave harder than most AWD cars can. If you notice AWD guys slip the clutch on the launch, with RWD just let go of the transbrake and your off to 1.30's.
Lol well ofcourse, but its more about suspension than tire width. Look at stock classes. Theyre cutting 1.30's with a 9" slick if im not mistaken. Outlaw 10.5 is running 6.40's 6.50's with a 10.5W tire.
Its all about suspension tuning and in some casses boost management.
Not a fwd hater, just saying, why are there no top fuel funny cars running front wheel drive? Don't get me wrong, there are some impressive front wheel drive cars out there, but Ferrari, lamborghini, porsche,TVR, Saleen, seem to think rear wheel or all wheel drive is it. Even when Honda decided to build a supercar, the acura NSX, Guess what? Rear wheel drive! They never desighned the civic or accord to race. The same can be said for alot of fwd wanna racers out there. Just a thought. Peace!
Your thoughts are too simple. Here is a little wisdom....Not everyone likes to do the saame thing. Same reason there are many different types and classes of many different races. If people stuck with what things were built for, you wouldn't have Monster Trucks, Dragsters, Funny Car, Rock Crawlers, ect ect ect. Why put a jet engine on a car? Just a thought.
@mustanguy77 exactly right. and another thing is you will never see a 4 banger in nhra. its all V8's, thats why toyota built the tundra was so they could use the v8 in drag racing. honda could do the same thing but they wont.
What does this vid have to do with front wheel drive being dangerous?? Not knowing how to drive (like the dude in this vid) is pretty dangerous, though.
FWD sucks for drag racing. Yes I like getting good fuel milage out of a chevy lumina, but just for that reason, the lumina Z34 that I drive will never be a unless converted to RWD a car I'd fool with.
started off in 2nd?? went into first????????? wtf...?? is that what happened??? EVEN THE ANNOUNCER WAS LAUGHING.. im a HIONDA guy, and this was FUNNY... sorry
ur gay, fwd and rwd handle the same in snow. its the driver not the car...go tell that to the cops driving crown vics and chargers and see who laughs at you then. oh and did i forget to mention ur gay...
LMAO ADAM YOUR A FUCKIN FAG, seriously that was your comeback line? lame! atleast i drive something better than having mama drive me around like in your situation.....gay
i dont even no y ur starting shit on youtube its just my opinion u come here crying and trying be the tough guy. just because u have a pedal bike and ur dad beats u in his tighty whiteys u dont have to come on here trying be the champ. now i'll be bak in an hour to c wat ur stupid ass wrote and plz make sumthing a little better than..... atleast i drive something better than having mama drive me around like in your situation because that my friend is just.............GaY
I don't even see how this happened. Even in a FWD car, when you accelerate, the rear wheels should just be pushed into the ground. It shouldn't do an endo unless something else went wrong here. I don't think the fact that this car is FWD has anything to do with what happened here. The only way it would naturally do an endo would be if he was launching in reverse.
i think not, i think when he was launching, the front wheels had less or zero traction, and when he wanted to shift, the front wheels getting grip and that's made the endo did his job.
"FWD never were ment racing and you fools who think FWD ever will be sporty just look at the new ford focus rs, all the money and time they used to develop that car, and it still went wrong."
uh, couldnt disagree more? care to explain why the RS went wrong? and why honda insist on making FWD sport hatch cars ? dont get me wrong rear wheel drive is cool but dont just wipe out FWD. if the car is well built the perfromance is incredible.
If your implying small practical RWD cars dont exist you have over looked most of BMW stock.
Saying FWD made no progress since 1996 underlines your lack of knowledge, the industry revolves around making cars for everyday people so the technology has been pushed forward year on year. When making a performance model the 'know how' is put to the test,that's why the sport hatch dominates the market. Get your facts straight
FWD is a solution for the daily users car, and it was hi tech 50 years ago, because of the displacement of the engine and the gearbox it made the car more roomy and family friendly.(just look at the mini cooper) FWD never were ment racing and you fools who think FWD ever will be sporty just look at the new ford focus rs, all the money and time they used to develop that car, and it still went wrong.
lol ive never heard anyone talk as much shit as u.the new focus rs is a complete beast with nothing wrong with it, the astra and corsa vxrs are mint, the renault megane r26r wud beat many rwd cars on track.if u think fwd will never be sporty look at the btcc-90% of the cars on grid are fwd and they are the dominators of the sport. and the mini cooper (the original rally car-not a family car lol) is one of the original sports cars cus of its amazing handling and cornering speed.get ur facts right
the new focus rs a beast? it got smoked by a escort cosworth in a fifth gear episode. and all the fwd cars you mentioned, shure great cars but have you ever seen a real super car with fwd?
a fwd has limit of how many hp/torque they can have on the front wheels. you mentioned the the mini cooper was a successfull racecar in both rally and british touring car.
rally cars and touring cars are based on factory cars so thats the reason you see alot of fwd, in touring and rally (the older days) now in the modern world 4WD has taken over rally. you maybe find a FWD in the junior league.
shure you have your facts right, but it dosent matter when you cant read them.
that was the old focus rs that the escort cosworth beat. the new focus rs has about 80bhp more than the old one and should take the nurburgring lap record for product fwd cars. sure u dont see any fwd supercars-as it wud be mental to put over 400bhp through the front wheels. fwd cars are generally more nimble on tight circuits, and hatches such as civic type r and clio cup are giant killers through the bends. ive seen tuned up fwd hatches beat sierra cosworths etc on the strip aswell
a rwd would be even more nimble with the perfect weight distribution, which you dont get in a fwd. so you agreed with me that it would be stupid to put 300+ hp in a fwd? so a fwd would never be a real racecar. and who cares about the strip? a unicycle would go fast if it had a big enough engine.
u dont get 50/50 weight distribution in fwd, but neither do u in awd and rarely in rwd. fwd are slightly nose heavy, but this can assist turn in cus the back can step out slightly. the focus rs has 300bhp and is controllable, and their have too many "real" front wheel drive racecars to mention. i dont care about drag racing either, but the 400bhp corsa that i was on about beat the cossie off the line and continued to pull away-showing well setup fwd can put lots of power down with no fuss
mmm silence the sweet sound of victory, now im going to ride my honda nsr 125(which is a rwd if you wondered:) feel free to say something stupid. while i'm away.
yh whatever lol. why dont u ride "ur unicycle with a big engine" aswell-which wud just fall over btw. i might go for a drive in my 125 killing corsa ;)
yea just wait till the FWD becomes a thing of the past
i read online back a bout a year or so ago that the FWD was being phased out in favor of the RWD and AWD
@ least for american cars not sure bout inports
and think bout it back when FWD was innerduced it was for fuel ecomemy and all that jazz and now some of the RWD cars out now that r new r just as efficant if not better
actually fwd will always be capable of better fuel economy than rwd because fwd is about a 12% power loss from the engine to the wheels. rwd is about a 17% power loss from engine to wheels.
In all actuality any car can lose traction in winter. I have an 03 WRX with over 400whp and even with that much power I don't lose control in winter very often but it does occasionally happen unfortunately. But I know what you mean about the sand bags. People have proven time and time again that AWD ultimately is the best system to keep traction but you got to make due with what you got so oh well.
line locks hold pressure in the line when you suppress the brakes, hit the button, release the brakes. it was a good try tho. i wonder what really happened?
why, because rwd has about a perfect 50/50 weight distribution, noses inward to oversteer, and has no tendency to understeer while fwd has a 60/40 front heavy weight distribution, no oversteer at all and will understeer you into a wall?
you can't generalize like that. different cars have different characteristics. a FWD car will always be safer than a RWD because FWD has a tendancy to understeer.
You get oversteer and lose it, you can go anywhere. At least with understeer you stay on your general heading.
Try racing an awd subaru sometime with a rwd car, you can dump as much money into the rwd car as you want and STILL won't be able to keep up in the corners AND you won't be able to go anywhere in the snow.
People who drive RWD in winter are mentally retarded. People who drive sports cars in winter are mentally retarted as well. I hope you have fun fucking up your engine and getting rust all over your car retard.
not all racing is drag racing and not everyone has rich ass parents to buy them a vehicle for every season of the year. id take AWD over RWD any day. unless we are talking old muscles then RWD wins everytime.
Actually I beg to differ. I can drive my subaru in the snow anytime AND I still beat a hell of alot of RWD cars. Don't get me wrong I certainly respect American Muscle I own a 69 Camaro with a blown 572 so trust me I LOVE them. BUT my WRX runs 11.5 in the 1/4 and is my daily driver I LOVE it and I wouldn't have any other street car.

yea just wait till the FWD becomes a thing of the past
i read online back a bout a year or so ago that the FWD was being phased out in favor of the RWD and AWD
@ least for american cars not sure bout inports
and think bout it back when FWD was innerduced it was for fuel ecomemy and all that jazz and now some of the RWD cars out now that r new r just as efficant if not better
and yes i am aware i miss spelled a few

actually fwd will always be capable of better fuel economy than rwd because fwd is about a 12% power loss from the engine to the wheels. rwd is about a 17% power loss from engine to wheels.

im not talking for powermaniacs im just talkin bout cars in general
yes im sure the FWD's will always be better but your not going to see as many of them around in the coming years @ lease not brand new

If you find it trouble to drive RWD in winter, buy 3 $5 sandbags and stuff them in the trunk. Problem fucking solved.

In all actuality any car can lose traction in winter. I have an 03 WRX with over 400whp and even with that much power I don't lose control in winter very often but it does occasionally happen unfortunately. But I know what you mean about the sand bags. People have proven time and time again that AWD ultimately is the best system to keep traction but you got to make due with what you got so oh well.

line locks hold pressure in the line when you suppress the brakes, hit the button, release the brakes. it was a good try tho. i wonder what really happened?

FWD is safer than RWD if ur racing.
But RWD is faster.
ARandomCanadian 3 years ago
why, because rwd has about a perfect 50/50 weight distribution, noses inward to oversteer, and has no tendency to understeer while fwd has a 60/40 front heavy weight distribution, no oversteer at all and will understeer you into a wall?
RsRocket31 3 years ago
you can't generalize like that. different cars have different characteristics. a FWD car will always be safer than a RWD because FWD has a tendancy to understeer.
You get oversteer and lose it, you can go anywhere. At least with understeer you stay on your general heading.

RWD wins.
ARandomCanadian 2 years ago
Try racing an awd subaru sometime with a rwd car, you can dump as much money into the rwd car as you want and STILL won't be able to keep up in the corners AND you won't be able to go anywhere in the snow.

RWD owns those lil soobaroos in drag races. And you drive a sports car in snow? What kind of sick fuck are you? Get a truck for winter you dumbass.
ARandomCanadian 2 years ago
HAHAHA are you even serious? I laugh as rwd pieces of shit are stuck in ditches as I go flying past doing 70 in 6 inches of snow.
GTFO faggot

People who drive RWD in winter are mentally retarded. People who drive sports cars in winter are mentally retarted as well. I hope you have fun fucking up your engine and getting rust all over your car retard.
ARandomCanadian 2 years ago
not all racing is drag racing and not everyone has rich ass parents to buy them a vehicle for every season of the year. id take AWD over RWD any day. unless we are talking old muscles then RWD wins everytime.
usa1327 2 years ago
Parents? lol its called a job. You should get one. Like I said before, if you wanna fuck up you racing engine, go ahead and drive it in winter.
ARandomCanadian 2 years ago
Actually I beg to differ. I can drive my subaru in the snow anytime AND I still beat a hell of alot of RWD cars. Don't get me wrong I certainly respect American Muscle I own a 69 Camaro with a blown 572 so trust me I LOVE them. BUT my WRX runs 11.5 in the 1/4 and is my daily driver I LOVE it and I wouldn't have any other street car.

LMAO, the tranny probably locked up. Could have happened in a RWD and caused the car to spin into the wall. That sucks.

Why the hell would a front wheel drive car have the line lock on the front wheels? Clearly a drivetrain failure.
filthydirtyhooker 3 years ago 4
why? Because do you think those 3.5" wide rear skinnies wont drag when preloading the clutch on the line?
