Every time i drove a fwd in a corner it wanted to go straight. Also the
average hp is at about 160 or so sure there are some with 230 300 200 hp but
those are turbo or v6 v8 or so but you have to remember the 90 hp hondas 120
hp hundays. fwd is definatley better in snow and icy conditions but for drag
racing the power wheels are on the wrong end
