Default is this lies or is it just me?

i commented on a friend of mines status on facebook as he was saying he wanted to change his engine as his was to underpowered so my reply went as--

big power an FWD aint that good unless you spend loads on gettin the power down. RWD or 4X4 is the way to go E.G- COSWORTH! lol

to which i had a reply of--

My mates got a b18c GSR turbo integra engined honda civic runnin 350+ fwd and it very rarely spins even when he boots it in first and all the way through the gears even with anti lag......People sayin you cant put power down in fwd cars obviously havnt tried and are just listenin to old wives tales

which pissed me off a bit so i replied--

Old wives tales?? its all good an well going in a straight line wat about corners? an id like to see a car with that power hardly spin. An like I sed you need spend money on gettin it down. Like tires diff's suspension set up loads of different things. If front wheel was so good an all I'm saying is wives tales why are most performance cars 4wd or rwd?

another reply of

Corners it still grips, granted he has an LSD but not an overly expensive one, traction bars which were made by himeself that prob cost around £20 to make and has tannabe shocks and springs. I'm pretty sure he'd take most things around silverstone as I've seen him do it and a cosworth wouldn't even be a challenge lol. Yeah most performance cars are RWD or 4WD but just because it's massly produced doesn't mean its right.

do you think like me he's just waffling?? as uaual MY MATES CAR......
it wound me up a bit with wat he said.. could just be me over reacting but grrrr some people can wind you up easy these days!

ok rant over back to calm now...
