yes rwd are by far the best and most enjoyable. front wheel drives are very
easy to light up the tyres though.(as i found out in my bros wifes mazda 626
i think) prolly cos they have all the weight of the car behind em and have
to pull the car. like dumping the clutch going up a hill. and rwd push the
car so its not as easy - til u get a turbo! :)
but still easy to spin the tryes on my 510.......
