Front-Wheel Drive Ain’t the Problem. Your Driving Is.

Let’s set the record straight. You’re not slower because your car is front-wheel drive. You’re slower because you’re still braking in the turn like it’s your first day out here.

The Hate on FWD Is Getting Tired.

Every car meet has at least one guy foaming at the mouth talking about “real cars are RWD.”Yeah? And real drivers know how to control weight transfer, champ.

Don’t blame understeer when the only weight shift you understand is your own body lunging toward the curb on every apex.

Let’s Talk FWD Reality:

• It’s cheaper. Less drivetrain loss, fewer parts to break.

• It’s lighter. Which means better fuel economy and better rotation if you know how to set it up.

• It’s dominant. Ever heard of the Civic Type R? The Integra Type S? Or literally any fast FWD hot hatch?

Oh right—you stopped listening after “Civic.”

So Why Do People Hate It?

Because they think FWD can’t drift.Spoiler: you don’t need to drift to drive fast.But also, ever heard of lift-off oversteer?It’s what happens when you actually drive your car instead of cruising in second gear, vaping at red lights.

What You Should Actually Be Practicing:

• Trail braking.

• Throttle steering.

• Weight transfer.

• Not blaming the layout when you fly off the offramp.

Bottom Line: FWD isn’t what’s holding you back.Your ego is.

If you wanna flex, flex on lap times. Flex on precision. Flex on learning your platform.Because the truth is: most people can’t even outdrive their own Altima.Yes. Even that beige one with the duct-taped bumper and the dash lit up like Christmas.
