you will be happy with the rwd.

i feel like the awd was made for people like me who push the car to its limits without any concern. my vehicle doesnt spin out and I always understand that it has my back. its a safety feature most of all

rofl i mean just beating the crap out of it on the local streets haha.

its nice to mash the throttle on a AWD G without fears of having the rear end kick out right into a telephone pole.

oh and the g35x has been prooven to be fairly track worthy. check out forum member "chicagox"

I let my fiance drive my G whenever she wants... although ever since we got her that smart car she never even asks to drive it lol!

Go with the RWD for yourself man, you won't regret it, and like I said the traction control will keep your wwife on the road. PS, dont ever show her this thread, she'll be insulted by your lack of confidence in her mad drift skillz
i can chirp my car with VDC on...

Who cant ?? The point is after traction is lost it cuts the fueling i believe to the engine.

Have any of you tryed doing donuts. I attempted this for the first time yesterday after owning the car for almost 2 years. I turned VDC off and I started to circle gave it some gas in 2nd spun 90 degrees and slid side ways for like 10 or 15 feet. Felt like something else was holding me back like ABS or something? Slip light turned on and didn't turn off till i restarted the car.. I'm guessing the car isn't 100% free when you turn VDC off.

might I suggest to you that you look into a RWD 6MT... they're...more fun

I live in Canada and we get an assload of snow, traction control and winter tires were all I needed!
Thats only an opinion, i live in Canada and love havin my X in the winter. . . In the summer the AWD fuse comes out and now I got a RWD . .

oh, AWD would be nice, and had they come in 6MT i would have CONSIDERED one. but RWD is so much more fun! a little drift through the corners... and yea guys, I know you can chirp the tires with VCD on but like VQ said, it immediately tones it down and stops the spin.

and hey you auto guys, I totally understand if you live in high-traffic areas, have an injury or whatever, but I think we can ALL agree that a true car enthusiast would PREFER to be driving a manual in optimal conditions. hell, living in Ottawa you'd be surprised how much traffic I DO see! My left calf is flippin' huge! but its all worth it to me

thats a different way of doing it.. Ive done it a few times... just left it in 1st and dropped the clutch... i was whipping around so fast

and the reason why i said i could chirp with VDC on is because alot of people think they cant... some really cant but thats not the cars fault.. ahha
