4x4 will cost more if you,re going BIG power, i.e transmission etc, RWD will be more fun too..

Tough one really, a nice 330-350bhp similar torque 4x4 would be nice too..

got to be 4x4 for track car imo..

look at Ian in the Reyland Focos, tried 2wd, then wanted 4x4 as it suited him better on track.

what suits YOU better.
