RWD vs FWD

[got_boost702]

Which is harder to launch a RWD or a FWD? As far as wheel spin, weight distribution, weight shift, ect. Maybe its in the wrong forum but just please help with the answer to this pivotal question. And please explain yer answer with sum logik.

RWD has the advantage.

RWD plants the tires under acceleration...FWD lifts em' you think about which is harder to launch...its pretty easy to figure out.

[japslapsilvia]

deffinatly rwd has the advantage b/c most of the weight of the car is placed on rear tires

[Gregariousgreg]

Definitely RWD because of the intial weight transfer. You know that feeling of beeing pinned to your seat that you get under hard acceleration? That's because all of the weight in your car is transfering back and putting weight on the rear wheels. Weight on the rear wheels means better traction and a better launch.

Thanks for the input to a dumbass question. My friend disagreed with me i just thought to double check my knowledge. Thanks again.

lol depending on suspension set up....

having a drag suspension on a RWD means having soft dampers and soft springs in rear...it's backwards for FWD...so w/ an improper setup, say for drifting w/ a stiff setup in the rear...you may have problems keeping initial traction

[lessthanjakejohn]

well saying the suspension set up is the same for each vehicle (F and R) then RWD has the advantage.

Now which is gona be more stable is a different story. but ya rwd is gona give you a better push.
