Ther are some of them that I would choose, like the Civic Type-R, Alfa 147 GTA, Focus RS, 850 R, The new Mini Cooper S (John Cooper Works). Are many of them.
My preference goes to the Civic Type-R or the 850 R.

If i had to go with a FWD car, I'd probably either get a Mini Cooper S or the new Acura TL (I love those). maybe sone others, but those two are the only ones coming to my mind right now at 8:00am :roll:

LOL,the video doin 160 with just a couple mods changed you,i knew it would.quite amazing,
i would say the srt-4 but as this car is not in my country i would have to say civic and integra type R.197hp for the civic and 220 for the integra,just a nice limit for the FWD cars.pleanty of civic type R around here.other than those i would say citroen saxo VTR and VTS (dunno why :roll: ) clio and golf,but th eolder ones are better IMO,the VR6 for sure

I like all FWD-cars which have many BHP but haven't got plenty of understeer. Vr6s GTAs etc have many BHP but too much understeer to have fun in corners.

i loved my old Pontiac Grand Prix, that was really fun in the snow. Front wheel drive was good for recovering from slides. the only bad thing was the ABS, just made it a little harder to brake-induce a slide, but with enough turn-in on a slick road it would happen still 
my and and before that i loved my old Cadillac DeVille, that thing would really slide around in the winter, great fun and it didn't have ABS, either, so you could lock the brakes quickly and slide down a hill

Wow, I never know that the Northstar V8 Cadillac is a FWD. I always thought all Cadillac is a RWD. What about the Catera? Is that a FWD or RWD?

They were about 50x50. Now they are swapping back to rwd. They currently only have 1 rwd car in their lineup.
