FWD vs RWD for a science project.

My physics teacher is a gear head. Hes like 45 and that was a while back, but he still loves cars. So I convince him to let me do this project.

So basicly Im looking for anything FWD/RWD/FWDvsRWD topics discussions or stats, or articles or anything like that.

Im really interested in cornering G's, salom speeds, really any handalling stat. I have box's of C&D mags so Im going to go through them. Im really interested in sports cars and not so much average cars.

My thesis is RWD sports cars handall better then FWD sports cars. But in some cases FWD is better for some types of races, and can out handall some RWD cars. But overall RWD is better.

Hotstang any ideas on what your osu carts can corner G wise? I'd guess its insane, but Id like solid statistic. Im sure you under stand. For that matter any custom sports car.

Also kinda looking at FR vs mid engine/rwd a little bit too. Not too converned but something to look into.

As for our MAX's Im going to look up all the stock cornering g's for each gen. If you guys with suspention mods could possibly get a cornering g witrh your mods compared to stock that would be awsome.

IF you have and idea on anything please lmk. thanks!
