I agree with this last post for the most part. You're adressing the traction part of two important rules the other one is power to weight ratio. I would imagine the drivetrain loss in a four-wheel-drive car has something to do with this whole subject as well.

I'm not saying either is better than the other, just opening it up for a healthy discussion.

Your point makes no sense!!

545 hp GTR
552 hp LFA
7.3 lb/hp GTR vs 5.9 lb/hp LFA

4WD "drivetrain loss" GTR
2WD "less drivetrain loss" LFA


If I had 400K to spend on a car, it wouldn't be the LFA eye candy, Id be in a 599 GTO.


But who am I? I drive a Yaris to work, and ゴジラ on the weekends!!
