Burn out

RE: Burn out
I just prefer RWD myself as I learned to drive on RWD vehicles. In fact, my Monte is the only vehicle that I've ever driven that's FWD. I personally don't find FWD to always be better for snow, but then again, I know how to pull out of a slide with a RWD car, and have yet to figure out how to do it with FWD as it's always my front wheels that break loose. I don't mind the torque steering that much, it's not like it's enough to move the steering wheel if I've got a semi-decent grip on the wheel.
As for a daily driver, it depends on preference and that's about it. I like to have some fun with any car that I drive, and that fun usually comes in the form of RWD. The best thing about my Monte being FWD is the fact that I can't do some of the stuff that I did with my dad's Camaro, which means a lot less chances to get a ticket.

RWD would be a lot better, but if you don't care about potentially damaging your car you can have fun with a FWD too. Here's me and my buddy having a small burnout contest on our cell phone cameras. Damn Trans am's... lol

I agree, but why should Chevy redesign the drivetrain when they were discontinuing the car?

Pretty sure they're still FWD. Big disappointment to have a V8 that was FWD.

Donuts? Very precise donuts can be accomplished in a FWD car - even without snow! For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPRsr...eature=related

RE: Burn out
What is the all the hoopla about RWD. Yea Yea, I know with FWD, you get a certain amount of torque steer under hard acceleration, but up here in the Great White North, the FWD will go through almost anything. (Snow)
I believe the experts are now saying after all this time RWD is better in snow that FWD is. Why.......... beats me?
I do know that it is possible to get FWD stuck in snow. I had to push my father's FWD car out once when he got stuck in the driveway.
