What Corners better?

RWD for Road corses..

AWD for Dirt

FWD for nasty shopping mall parking lots

The best handling car I have ever drove was a 911 AWD TT.. I felt invincible in the corners. My crx however handles very well, especially after I put the scca cage in with the fatty sway bars.

Hey Jeff...you have any problems with your LCA's after you put the sway bars on? I am being told not to put the ITR sway bar on without the ITR LCA's.

I think thats because the suspension geometry is a bit differently designed on a ITR than it is on a normal civic. 88 Crx's share the same style LCA's as 97-01 ITR's. So.. ya if people suggest it, there is probably a reason behind it =)

as far as road racing cars. fwd cars tend to suffer overstear, awd cars supposivly has a weight disadvantage but have faster acceleration comming off the corner or from a dead stop, rwd cars have oversteer which makes the rear end looser, kinda like how fighter jets are purposely unstable so they can pull some serious g forces its the same thing. porsche is one example of snap-oversteer because most of its weight is on the rear. thats why with the right driver, the porsches tear up the tracks. so as far as handling, awd is the safest, rwd is the unsafest but with the right driver and right suspension setup the rwd wins.
