Also, I don't think fuel consumption matters too much for people with a budget for 2M performance cars.

Believe me, it does matter.

RWD is great fun in ideal conditions but it can be dangerous in bad weather or simply bad roads or roads with loose surface (gravel or sand on it). I have spun out RWD vehicles before simply because of some loose gravel or sand in the corner as I applied power at the apex.

It wouldn't have happened if i had AWD to help me grip and correct the car.

Yep. That's the disadvantage of having a RWD car. Kasi mostly, RWD's are meant for drifting. Look at the Silvia, it's RWD. It's a drift car. Look at the A31 Cefiro, it's RWD and then again, it's a drift car.

Not that RWD cars spins a lot but there's a bigger possibility of this happening. You make it more dangerous by turning the traction control off.

BTW, people turn the TC off so they can skid the tires from stop to sudden acceleration. ( clutch-engage in 1st gear-rev while stepping on the clutch-release the clutch )

The AWD on the other hand gives a better grip > RWD. One disadvantage that I'm seeing is that when it's being towed - an AWD car cannot be towed since it can damage the transmission. If you need it to bring an AWD car on a shop, lift it in a truck bed.

Believe me, it does matter.

Yep, it does. Money saved from gas can be spent on mods.

Again, it's practicality vs. looks. Of course a non-car enthusiast cannot differentiate further which is which ( RA vs. EX ) and they would normally appreciate the looks of the GC since admittedly it really is eye-catchy > lancer RA.

yep, 4 wheels scratching is always better than 2.

On the thing about all RWD being drift cars, not really. Sometimes it is just the layout that makes sense. Good handling and good power delivery.

A Merc S350 is RWD but its not a drift car (but that didnt stop me from drifting it anyway).

Hindi ba mas mahina mag burnout ang AWD

The s2000 and miata is a couple of examples of a rwd that's almost impossible to drift. You have to be a really good driver to drift the s2000, for the miata kahit gano ka pa ka galing you won't be able to drift it.

Yup, you can only do a quick burn out on an awd car. I don't advise doing it cause you'll break a lot of parts if done repeatedly.

generally the miata doesnt have enough power to drift.

yep, but in terms of handling, 4 wheels scratching is better than two.

Mitsu Ralliart, it can blend in at mall parking lots to evade car thieves yet deliver more than enough performance for a regular guy(as in skill not money). And evo's age well, that cant be said for all coupes. It may not be a full pledged evo, but it has pedigree... and seats 5 + trunk
