Re: I need help --2wd or 4wd is there really a differenc
Whoopsy:
People KNOWS rwd 911s are a handful, they give the heavy ass a big berth, they won't play at or around the limit, knowing once you go past it there is no return. On the other hand with the better traction of the awd, people thinks the limit is higher, it isn't, the awd just let you play closer to the limit, this gives drivers a false sense of security.
In RWD there is also more feel of what the car does and thus earlier warning. On the AWD the transition is more sudden. When I drive a Turbo fast on curvy roads I feel that the car takes over from me and does things effectively but without as much driver control as the RWD.
However, on the road and up to say, 7 or 8/10 of performance that most people use, the AWD 911 is the easier and safer car.
