I'm curious about your thoughts on why RWD is faster. Is it because it's lighter? Yes, of course, I'd totally agree there. What else...? |
Not only lighter, but the transfer of direct inert energy to two wheels would naturally create a quicker response time as well, since you are eliminating the much needed increase in power to accommodate all four wheels. What does an AWD foundation provide other than an added amount of traction in a situation where traction isn't exactly going to benefit that much more. Now if it were on a dirt track, AWD would prove what its existence is and always will be intended for.
