I dont belive RWD is much/any worse than FWD.

Be suprised if 4wd is really as much as 100 too TBH.

Thing is tuners and owners like to claim its loads to make their cars sound more powerful than they really are.

Its all bollocks, thats why USA, Oz, Nz, never ever use flywheel numbers, as they complete bullshit and only a guess at best.

thats what ive always thought

altho i thought with manuals you could get a flywheel reading?

Surely it is percentage as a 60bhp rear wheel drive car cant have 0 at the wheels!
