"technically fwd is better then rwd in tight and slow corners since it has most of the weight over the front where as a rwd has verry little weight bias, the fwd car can handbrake turn without lowering the engine speed much and on some occasions doesnt require clutching in at all where as a rwd must (an awd may or may not be able to do this depending on the type of center dif), on slow corners the fwd can enter at a higher speed and just lift off for extra grip and lift off oversteer while if the rwd car were to try the same thing it'd spin"

obviously awd all around is a better way to go but as a daily driver cornering at lower speed a fwd is technically better. And a higher speeds say over 100mps on a straight line a fwd car should beat an equally powered awd car. Misinformation my ass!
What in the hell? Since when do you use a handbrake or clutch when racing around a corner? THAT is misinformation, and you need to stop spreading it.
