and the fastest supercar of all time, the Bugatti Veyron is 4wd!
Not trying to pick, but what has the straight line speed got to do with handling?
The Bugatti may be the fastest, but might not be the best handling.
Porsche, yes the turbo is 4wd, but forgive me if I'm wrong, the drivers cars that Porsche sell, GT3 and GT2 are both rwd???
I think mr Rainbird got it right, untill power cant be laid down, the advantage of 4wd is not significant.
And whoever it was that compared a Saff to a Evo, come on, different world of cars, not to mention the 10 or so years difference in age/technology.
Where have I mentioned handling?!?!??!

His mate said 'ALL supercars are RWD'

I was merely pointing out that they are not!

P.S you missed out the Carrera GT when talking about Porsche
