Originally posted by tranceporter View PostExcellent choice, if I may say. You can also remap them for nothing, and they show tremendous improvement on the torque curve, especially in the mid range.

The only problem is that they are FWD, which means they slide all over the roundabouts in snow. Hence the next choice. A Mazda 6 MPS. 4WD, 2.3T, 260 bhp, 280 lb-ft, with 6 gears.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Originally posted by gingerjedi View PostBut RWD is useless in snow and ice and 4WD is unnecessary 99% of the time, why the hate for FWD? I can honestly say I haven't noticed torque steer or under-steer since modern cars have been fitted with all the electronic stability gubbins. Maybe I just don't drive as 'enthusiastically' as I once did?"See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment
