Here's a lok into what little I know:

AWD= best traction, some understeer, heaviest weight, most power lost from flywheel to wheels

FWD= lightest, least power lost from flywheel to wheels, worst weight distibution, alows for more interior room, torqe steer, good traction in rain&snow, lots of understeer

RWD= good weight distribution, med. amount of power lost, good launch traction, bad rain&snow traction, most nuetral steering.

What he said plus:

 

AWD: Safest platform

FWD: Better MPG. I find less invovling to drive which is fine for boring daily traffic grind.

RWD: One word sums it up. Drift.

 

There's a FWD Integra here that does 8's and is street legal. Has so much money spent on it though. But is possible to make FWD as fast as RWD. just not as cheaply or easily.

One thing to add to the info about RWD.. Rear Wheel Assist! :twisted:

 

Nothing like powdering the tires to help make that U turn :D
