Get your ass over to finland and I'll show you some "spirited driving" with an AE92 sedan

hehe.. preferably in "snowy" conditions.

I wish you were closer to my side dude.. I'd take you out for a ride.

BTW, the cars are not as fast as you think they are.. but they're quick.

They're fast too when they have a garrett bolted on to the side of the engine.
I'd prove it if the cops werent too keen on getting my license.

Yeah snowy conditions would be fun with an RWD... but it wont snow till end of november.

with something like this it comes down to the driver... Not so much the car.

I am a hardcore 88-91 civic si hatch guy. How would this car compare in stock for stock performance?

[mazdaverx7]

most any RWD car will FEEL better for performance than a FWD car. its the seat of the pants feeling. i can drive my GSL-SE all day and it feels sportier than my camry, but in the end the camry is a faster. the 7 just feels better because it communicates with the road better.

To an 88-91 Si, the GTS is faster but the Si would probably outhandle it around corners, the GTS is heavier.

Indeed, RWD's are sportier, plus its more fun to play with an RWD, because you can do donuts and other stupid shit. However, camry and RX7 isnt in the same category with suspension, the other one is sporty, the other for comfort.

I personally like rwd as you have control over all 4 wheels. I hate how in fwd the 2 back wheels are just along for the ride

[Flashmn]

Didnt you just a while back praise the FWD?

[freakinbox]

pretty sure I didn't. I just say alot of people knock it. It's ok But I prefer rwd. Have since before I got this car. I only have an ae92 as it was cheap to buy and it was a good deal on it. Not many 1989 sr5's driving around with a 2 year warrenty on the engine and tranny.

Dude- you want spirited! Drop in a 20v and go for it. Its an awesome ride, not too many ppl have them anymore so be one of the few and have fun. FWD is great because it hugs the road. No you dont slip and slide as much, you can break the rear end loose with ease though. You just have more positive control with the FWD especially in bad weather.

[freakinbox]

well with throwing the rear on a fwd you have to watch it when you throw the rear on a fwd as you don't have any way to add force to those wheels . Like you can pull it off with a combo of ebrake and throttle but if you don't use them it's very difficult. Also if you push it alot you will go through front tires like mad since they do ALL the work. Plus the acceleration in a fwd isn't the best. You want to make the ae92 a better car I say go for weight.

[diver9000]

Yeah, but it is fun to drive either way!
