just converted my escos to rwd best thing i ever did ,love how the 2wd drive train goes and handles ,yes its harder too controll in general but ,lots more fun ,,yes it can bite you but so can a 4x4 just not as easy too lose....m last saff was 500bhp and now escos 330 bhp will be 500 soon .......rwd also easier on gearboxes,diffs etc etc i personally hate the ford cosworth 4x4 gear change ,you have to wait a week before changing gear ,2wd just smash it in totally transformed my car ,obviously i am biased to rwd ,once you have a big power 2wd cosworth nothing is as good imo anyway its up to you, just my view on the matter
