whats faster?

[svxAL]

A fwd or an awd?

[Earthworm]

FWD probably has the advantage due to weight. AWD has the traction but that's not enough.

The current fastest SVX in the 1/4 is FWD.

It belongs to "poweredx2". His time was 13.321 (not stock of course).

Do you know what's been done? I was looking for his user profile, but couldn't find it, oddly.

Yes, Poweredx2 is the fastest overall and he had nitrous. I still say the AWD's are faster though because I could hit the nitrous that much sooner and not fear loss of traction. I've driven my car in FWD when it was still pretty stock and I couldn't keep the tires from spinning on even moderate launches. Benebob and I are the fastest N/A auto SVX's. His is stripped down and a pure racer and runs 14.2 and has 4.11 gears(And boy is it fun to drive!), And mine is an everyday driver with full interior and all accessories and runs 14.9 with 4.44 gears. And yes, We are both AWD.

I ran 15.6 when I went, my friends in their awd cars were just at my tail at 15.9 and 15. something. At the time, my fwd car had very, very simple things done. A high stall tc, aluminum pully, and phenolic spacers...Probly saved me all of .01 off my time
Frankly, I dont like the fwd svx...It just isnt as fun. Okay, so itll accelerate an unnoticable fraction of a percent faster, but it just doesnt have the stuff that makes an svx an svx, and overall I'd say the awd is better proformer. (Things like speed sensitive steering and all wheel drive make it a hell of alot more solid of a ride than the fwd)
Though you do have one advantage with the fwd....its lighter. The lack of a sunroof and a rear diff, as well as crappy seats shave about 200 pounds off the car. If you want to make the car faster, put in an awd 5 speed (Youll need to swap rear subframes) and see about some minor engine build stuff. Just do some good hard research, it's all in here. Definently heed the advise of the people that have done extensive mods to their cars

But just a forwarning...If you planned on making this a 12 second car, itll take ALOT of time and money invested. You're likely better off getting a diffrent car for raing pourposes
enjoy!

AWD would be slower stock for stock, from all that drivetrain loss.

But modded versus modded, an AWD would be faster.
