Lemme bring it back to it's original course....

please don't race your friend....

1. you are making yourself look extremely stupid to others....a civic racing a lexus? I would laugh at the lexus
2. Which rather you be? Going fast in a loud fart can car or cruising in a nice luxury car.
3. Racing is just plain dumb unless at the track...

I can talk all the crap I want cuz i owned a turbo 97 civic and even though it was fast, i now realize how stupid i looked although i was fast. When I see the integras and civics out there with louds exhausts claiming how fast they are, makes me just shake my head and wonder....do these guys have no shame?

I like how there is many different topics going on here.

1. IS250 vs Civic
2. AWD vs RWD
3. 2IS isn't meant to race..

It's a shame you're inacapable of a discussion without namecalling.

But since we're getting into failure to read, you missed the part where I grew up in NY (which gets 12+ inches of snow) and I also lived in Canada, which gets a lot more snow than you do.

And RWD with snow tires worked just fine. As it did for everyone else for most of the 20th century when AWD cars were quite rare.

Perhaps it's driver error on your part?


Anyway, again, the C&D article concluded that for the most part RWD was the better choice, unless frequent climbing of steep hills was required... even compared to AWD with snow tires... because of the several drawbacks of AWD in braking and handling in low traction conditions (the extra weight is a major disadvantage) and the fact that RWD with snows not only did better in those cases, it did "well enough" in most others compared to AWD, and significantly better in all non-snow conditions, which is, ya know, most of the time.


Again I'd encourage you, if you're actually willing to join the adults who don't need to call each other names to have a discussion, to search out the much longer AWD vs. RWD thread where a lot of this (and a lot more evidence) has already been hashed over and discussed... Read all that info, then post there, if you have more to say on the topic, rather than have us keep derailing this thread.

I think it would be an interesting experiment to start a thread on a completely unrelated topic and then count how many posts it takes to turn into either a 250 vs. 350 or a RWD vs. AWD debate.

I love CL.

Well, I won the race. Haha this wasn't a serious race as some intended it to be... After reading all these comments, makes me wanna change the name of this thread. =O My deed is complete. Thanks for all the comments/opinions.

that would be just a complete waste of time, neither car is meant for a race. go get yourself some american muscle and then go to a strip and have a real battle.
