Under normal circumstances there is no difference between >a front or rear wheel drive car. Not true. At speed, a FWD car pulls through turns, which is a rather different feel from the push of RWD. Many performance drivers prefer RWD for this reason, FWD cars (for the most part, the Prelude is a notable exception) just do not handle as predictably at speed (and I do not mean 55 MPH). -- ***dan {allegra,astrovax,princeton,twg}!fisher!djl The misplaced (What *are* those trees doing??)
