ost_uid1]Traction is the key word. *Guys run slicks and tub their
cars because they need it to get traction. *Get a car at
that level and put it on the road on street tyres and it
would be stuffed. *With the technology we have available
now with injection, boost control etc etc you can make
motors with incredible horsepower. It becomes easy to
go past the ability of the tyres and then inherent design
problems associated with either FWD or RWD or AWD come
in to play. *Each one has its own problems. Example V8
supercars. *Same horsepower but the ford was never as
good due to smaller wheeltrack so they don't corner as well
and spinout.
