    It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
    fenix pd35 tac. its a 940-1 first run. safe queen. i want to get another one to actually carry. here are some exclusives, but i would probably just get a 940-2 locally for a good price since i like s30v

    Bud I knew exactly what model that 940 was s90v steel and all correct? It came down to that exact model and the 0450cf as my arsenal knife.

    My only safe queen knife is my micro tech ultra tech.

    fwd cars have better handling characteristics. not capabilities.

    what if im driving a porsche with the weight in the back?

    fuck this bullshit convo.

    one does not simply say "i drove an NSX today" and not go into detail

    we are all waiting....

    You're pulling the weight of a car with the front wheels instead of pushing it with the rear wheels.

    In effect this is like using your hand to pull a spoon across a table by the eating end vs pushing a knife across by its handle.

    If your steer wheels are the same ones as your propulsion ones, as in FWD, your twisting moment about the car's weight center is essentially nil.

    However in a RWD (FR Layout because, Rich, you already know that weight over the driving axle will create better traction which is why you pulled a special scenario out of your pocket in the mid engine Porsche example) car, you've got the greatest weight center in the nose of the car because of the engine and such. Now you've got the entire wheelbase of the car for the wheels in the rear to induce a moment about that forward point.

    Longer bar, less force you need to use to break the bolt loose.

    Same reason FWD cars are better in general low traction conditions (where ground clearance isn't a limiting factor) is the same reason RWD cars are about 3,456.7 times more fun to drive in the rain.
