I work as a mechanic and drive a 92 GSR. Yeah, it's a Honda. Yeah, it's FWD. It is what it is, it's a fun car to drive. I've had RWD (two RX7s), domestics, imports, I've driven them.

The whole point of the automotive community is to support each others projects, and enjoy it in the process. Not to shoot them down and tell them that their Civic will never be as great as the almighty Corvette.
So how about you learn to respect the fact that these cars have alot of potential. Sure, they're not nearly as expensive, and don't have that "bling" factor that your super-fantastic Corvette has, but guess what? If I was to dump the same amount of money that you spent on your vette into my GSR, I'd rape you on the track any day of the week. Just because you have money, doesn't make you better than the rest of us, so grow up.

Corvettes arent even "Super Fantastics", they can easily get raped by an Evo on the track lol oh yeah and off the track as well, during rainy days as well, oh also during snowing days as well.

I don't think you can really say that FWD cars don't perform as well as RWD cars in a blanket statement. About the only thing you can say is that they're at a disadvantage: it takes more work to make a FWD car as fast as a comparable RWD car in motorsports.
OP: Same idea with the Mazda3 vs Si argument. I had a Mazda3, a 4dr 2.3L 5MT just like yours. With a little prep work (coilovers, swaybars, camber links, brake pads, ate superblue, intake, exhaust, wider stickier tires), I was practically running circles around the Si in my run group the last time I brought the car out to a lapping day. Yes the Si is a faster car out of the box, but that doesn't mean it has to stay that way =).

and think their corvettes are the best in the world. Quote:

| Uh, probably not. The C5 is the best bang for the buck performance car you can buy these days. If we spend $1 for every $1 the other spends, I guarantee you my car will run like a raped ape (it already does), and yours... well... it'll make a BUZZZZZ sound down the street.

There are many fwd cars that I like that are faster than my car but even so, I'd prefer mine. It's more about how well it feels than how fast it drives.

I don't know about where you're from, but around here, expect to pay about $25,000 for a C5 Vette. Great. Now, I bought my GSR for about $4,000. So that leaves me with $21,000 in mods I'd have to make just to spend the same amount on my car as you did on yours. If I were to do that, the GSR would be well ahead of you. Of course, I'm not going to, because I have other financial priorities in my life like buying a house, but you should at least see what I'm saying here. Quote:

| i dont understand this logic. lets say sum dude had a lambo. i drove a sti. spent the $300 000 difference in upgrades i would still be totally behind. because im still driving a fucking Subaru. plus id look like a fucking moron spending 300k on a car worth a tenth of the price.

What he's trying to say is, there are a lot of other things in life that are far more important than fast and expensive cars.
