Any system works for someone that knows how to use it. WOW, they obviously know! ;-)

Default Yes - Saab used to be the leader back in the early days when fwd ruled..

then came Audi with Quattro and the game was over for them.

Enough said.

Default The point being people saying understeer is all you can get with FWD......

Most can't approach the limits of either layout, although awd gives you a larger safety margin if you know how to use it. If not, you may as well have fwd.

That's some neat driving, think they're using the handbrake to get the back end out?

Default Maybe, but the 156 is used so widely in racing that suspensions for almost any purpose

can be obtained. A very firmly sprung (read too stiff for most street applications) rear would be ideal to produce results like this.

However, if you listen to the engine and watch the wheels, the car cannot lay much power in the turn and must wait until the exit before taking off in earnest. That's the beauty of QTR ;-)
