FWD cars you wish were RWD
 

Don't be lazy and say everything - I want specifics. Here is some of my list:

Mini Cooper Coupe:
With the turbo motor out of the S, I think a RWD version would be very entertaining


Acura Integra Type-R:
It's a cool car as is, but RWD would have made it a lot better.


Dodge SRT4:
Light weight, RWD, and easily modded turbo engine would have been a lot of win.


MazdaSpeed3:
Same as above, but this would actually be great with an AWD system as well.

Chevy Cobalt SS.

Possibly the most boring looking good, perhaps truly great, performance value cars ever.



Stock vs. stock I think it beats and Evo X in most categories, for rather less. (Hopefully I'm not confusing it with something else.)

You are indeed correct. I thought of it too actually, but forgot to add it in.

Even if that Speed3 was AWD like it big brother(Speed6) it would be awesome. Simple power mods to make the awd powerloss a non issue(like all STI owners do) and good god that would be a perfect car.

I agree. It would be an awesome daily.

97-01 Avenger



This would have been the missing link of muscle Mopars.

I'm lazy.

I would love to take one of those Avengers, mount a solid axle and drop in a Hemi/ T56.

There is actually a company in Europe that is developing an AWD system for the Cooper, I forget the company's name though. That would be fun.

This company makes RWD conversion for OLD school minis.

Hayabuse motor swapped minis are making high end exotics in Europe look silly. with a 6 speed sequential gear box. and 200hp (mor efun with Turbo). One fo the things i woudl love to do.

The MS3 is great as a FWD. but you dont really need AWD in a FWD car till you are like hitting the 350-400hp mark.

There's a company that does something similar with Smart cars. They're ridiculous and will cut you to pieces in any urban environment or tight roads etc. However, with a wheel base that short it would be terrifying much beyond 100mph. Oh, and if anything larger than a squirrel hits you there could be problems (in the old mini). :lmfao:

El Diablo inthe Smart car was the first i saw.

wow that is a sick lookin Mini Coupe!!! COUNT ME IN! I want one.

OK, I dig the integra with FWD, but the SRT4 would have been a MUCH better platform as a RWD or AWD car. I wish my car was RWD. SO badly.

That's pretty funny that they're using a sprocket and a chain. That thing is basically a big quad isn't it?

i wish mine was RWD rather then FWD. woula been soo much better

haha yup cobalt for sure
