You can't really compare cars with their drivetrain. It's just pointless. If you want to compare cars, get names of specific cars in the same class. Like Toyota Corolla vs. Honda Civic. |

In the dirt, or more slippery surfaces if you take two drivers of equal skill the AWD will perform better. But yeah, varies upon car and application. Sport/grip driving you can use any drivetrain, drag you're better off with something besides AWD since it only has a good amount of low-end torque in most cars (I'm talking stock vs stock, I don't want some idiot coming on here and saying that a 500 hp Evo can beat a stock Supra), and for drifting AWD or FR (!!!NOT FF!!!)

It's pretty nuts, but Mitsubishi isn't competing in the 2003 WRC season. They're taking the year to totally rebuild the team and car, which means they should be back in 2004 pretty stacked. Possibly the future team to beat after Peugeot. Alex | ||

IDW Member Group: Members Posts: 23 Member No.: 102 Joined: Nov 20th 2002 Location: Update Profile | Touring races feature all the layouts competing against each other on the same circuit (not sure if there were ever mid-engine AWDs in Touring). I don't notice any one layout standing out, just the drivers' skill. |

IDW Posts A Freaking LOT Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 10,554 Member No.: 32 Joined: Sep 26th 2002 Location: Orlando, FL | On a side note, in the JGTC, your allowed to change an AWD drive train to an FR drivetrain, and all the GTR's do. So what does that tell you? |

OG Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 9,054 Member No.: 111 Joined: Nov 26th 2002 Location: Atlanta | In the WRC and most other rally cars if not all others, well they have extended shifters and i think they also have a short shift system, well i've seen one that did. so their drifting doesnt require as much work...well, yeah... |

Use a playstation controller! I mean who doesn't love having a dummy getting sucked in your controller so you can drive around using PS controls? |

IDW Posts A Freaking LOT Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 10,554 Member No.: 32 Joined: Sep 26th 2002 Location: Orlando, FL | I prefer using a Steering wheel, pedals, and a shifter. But I have heard that Mercedes (sp?) is working on using a joystick for driving |

Request Title - PM Mods Group: Members Posts: 422 Member No.: 100 Joined: Nov 20th 2002 Location: Update Profile | Well it's just an idea.....it seems since so much people are into games right now that the general population would benefit. Not that it would be any cooler just alot more easier. Shifting with a manual is alot more stressful then tapping L1 a couple of times Course for the "fun" part yeah the steering wheel and stuff is much better, but if your tired from work I doubt you want to really concentrate on the car. Joysticks just ain't right. Might as well make it voice controlled. |

IDW Member Group: Members Posts: 23 Member No.: 102 Joined: Nov 20th 2002 Location: Update Profile | The problem with using a game-pad to control a car is that if you hit the turn right button or gas button, the car thinks that the wheel is turned all the way to the right and the gas is floored (a problem with many racing games). Also sometimes you can't hold several buttons at the same time. However the X-Box game-pad has special buttons that you can depress halfway for half gas or brake etc, but I never got a chance to play it yet |
