(i think) meaning it should accelerate faster. FF if i remember right is a rally car? not sure. its meant for something. idk. 4 wheel drive is like an evo its suppose to be easy to handle. since it uses all 4 wheels. which ever fits you the best you should stick with it. i just recently learned how beautiful my Celica GT-4 is. Akina Snow Rocks. 4wd. |

It's best for drifting. It's a little unstable in the rain and on gravel. e.g nissan silvia S15 FF has the engine at the front and uses it's front wheels to move. This type of layout is great for grip driving and stability. It's very hard to drift in a FF. e.g. honda civic EG6 MR has the engine at the back of the car and uses it's rear wheels to move. A MR has an advantage over FRs in grip racing because of the weight of the engine at the back. This weight 'presses' the rear tires to the ground, producing more traction. This might also mean a better start up as it minimizes wheel spin. MRs can drift if properly tuned. e.g. Honda NSX AWD means that the engine makes all four wheels move, creating incredible stability. Most AWDs have their engine at the front. AWDs are best in snow and rallies. They require power tuning to drift. e.g. Mitsubishi lancer evolution III CE9A This is based on real life. It does not relate to Arcade Stage 3. If you want to know about cars in Arcade stage 3, ask someone else bcoz i know nothing about it. Cheers!

And i'm sure MR means Mid Engine, Rear Drive. The only Rear Engines I know of are Porsches. This post has been edited by DigiBunny on Dec 29 2008, 04:43 AM |

Slowpoke... Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,605 Member No.: 18,773 Joined: Jul 5th 2006 Location: Philippines | General rules regarding drivetrains on IDAS3: -All FF cars suck horribly on Usui, but are excellent on Happo dry. -All AWD cars are easy to drive on snow. If you're driving an AWD and want an (unfair) advantage over an FR, FF, or MR driver, take them to snow. -Most AWD cars are easy to drive in the rain. (Most, but not all. One exception is the Celica) -MRs have poor top end acceleration, but have fast start up for 5 gear cars. -FRs suck on snow. Oversteer prone FRs seem to do better than Understeer prone FRs. |
