    AWD means more weight, more maintenance, complexity, and in some cases lack of top end.

      AWD is another way of saying I don’t know how to handle a front or rear wheel drive car.

      @@Boostlagg thanks, you proved my point. Quattro and 4motion are terrific for women.
      From 993 onward, the 911 Turbo or Turbo S is AWD. The GT3 and GT2 are rear wheel drive only.
      F1, rear wheel drive only.
      Indy, rear wheel drive only.

      ​@veedee4860 😂. How wrong you are mate. Rwd and awd don't translate to you driving. People get awd so they can drive in the rain snow and cold genius. Rwd lack practicality and safety. The only good awd system is quattro. It's not going to make driving the car no skill. You just know Jack shit about cars 😂

    I bought a Phoenix Yellow Integra Type-R brand new back in 2000 and just bought a Championship White FL5 Civic Type-R last week. I was seriously looking at the Integra Type-S, but I decided to go with the breed of the car and not the nameplate. Love my FL5.

      Exactly, gonna talk about the history of Type R without the FD2R is a Shame tho!! which FD2R is the last True JDM. But I don't expect Nort American martket to understand it since they never driven one or even see one (most of them might not even know that it is exist). But it is one of the best if not the best Type R ever been build.

    The turbo was the reason due to emissions
