Default fao b19 dfp 4x4 vs rwd

hello mate, im just wondering, i know you run your escos rwd, did you ever run it big power 4x4 ?

what difference do you find, possitive/negative ect, and do you think your car could be quicker round brands for example than a 4x4 600hp escos ?

just looking for a comparrison mate thought it'd also make good reading for some of the rwd escos guys

personally iv only driven a few high powered 4x4s and honestly think its just for the loose as in an escos especially i find they over steer far to much,maybe its me but i just dont like it and prefer the balnce of the 2wd system,me the steering and the throttle..lol..
as for whats quicker i dont know mate il give it a good go but know rod birley has done a 49.8 and is always in the 50s on a good day!!!!thats bloody quick and quicker than me at the mo...i still think il get into a late 50 with my car but will have to wait and see

yeah rod is very quick and with a oldish touring car sorta spec 500hp !

this is what made me think really, whats getting the power down like? and with the escos relatively short wheel base does it take some hanging onto if it breaks loose like ? i heard theyre worse than saffs when rwd, but obviosly yours has a proper beam suspension set up ??

oh right i see were your coming from...an escos 2wd handles better than any other 2wd cossie variant and im confident in saying that as iv had literally loads of all types,the 3dr you can actualy make handle better than the saph but the escos is another league...
mine is honestly amazing and lays it down so well..infact most ppl think its 4x4 untill i tell them then theyre even more pissed of...lol..

cheers danny
