one more question is the 4weeldrive better than the rwd i know that on the dry land the rwd is better but on the wet lan the 4 weel drive is better.. but doe s the 4 weal drive affecet the acceleratin?? speed??alll those stuf?

i assume you know about the obvious differences between the 2, (the "V" and "inline" or "strait" cylinder configurations) so ill cut to the other stuff, as far as one making power easier than the other i would say no. there are differences as far as weight, size, and exhaust/turbo mounting. an inline block of the same displacement of a "V" block will be longer and heavier assuming the same materials are used(i.e. cast iron or aluminum block) as more metal is needed. and the cylinders cant be stagered as with a V6 to save space. overall the V6 is a smaller package if wider for obvious reasons. exhaust and turbo plumbing is easier on a I6 as only one header/turbo manifold is needed and due to the engines narrowness it doesnt have to be a "block hugger" and it leaves room for a larger turbo, where on a V6 2 seperate turbo's and turbo manifolds are needed(for pracicality resons, single turbo drag piping need not apply) and there is less clearance (this is all generalized) for higher flowing headers/manifolds and/or turbos.What is the difference between a strait six and v6 other than the look does it affect the car ??????? the power ????????
generaly with an awd and a rwd car of the same power/weight the rwd car would perform better, the awd car has more powertrain losses. the awd car can launch harder because it has more traction but overall the rwd car has more available pulling powerbut doe s the 4 weal drive affecet the acceleratin?? speed??alll those stuf?
ill go more indepth and answer your other questions later as i have a party to go to now...

weight, its the number one determining factor when it comes to performance(besides top speed) lighter cars accelerate faster, can corner better(assuming the suspention is of the same orientation), and would get better gas mileage. aslo you should be looking at safty, your first car should be a safe one not an extremely fast one, learn to drive first then down the road(pun) get a more high performance car. sorry if that didnt make much sence as im a bit hung over right now...if i wanted to buy a car what should i be looking at in the performance other than the HP,Price,andengine?????

I was thinking the Gallardo is more along the lines of "less expensive and absolutely hideous". The Diablo is infinitely better looking. I'll take a VT Roadster in Red or Yellow pleaseOriginally posted by white devil
