    Front wheel drive cars get a lot of hate. But what if we told you they can actually be fast? This is a list of 8 FWD cars that are faster than a lot of Ferraris, Porsches, and other legitimately quick supercars. And before you get it twiztid, we’re ranking these cars based on the ULTIMATE TEST of a car’s ability: Official Nürburgring lap times.
    PS: there are probably some other faster ones than the Integra but we had to mention it as a benchmark to show how far cars have come!

    I miss my Integra Type R every single day of my life. I had to park it on the street for ONE single day instead of in the driveway because we were having the driveway completely redone. I hear a loud crashing sound at about 7am... Then like 45 second later the doorbell rings... A GOD DAMN GARBAGE TRUCK had hit my baby! It bent the frame so badly the insurance company declared it totaled. Before they took it away to car heaven, I took some dental floss and "sawed" off the the badges and still have them as a memory of my baby. And the insurance company surprisingly let me keep a bunch of the undamaged parts. I don't know what to do with them....but they're still in my parents' garage. Also OH GOD, hearing that a stock low mileage one goes for 70 grand or more today made my sad parts activate, when I think about what I paid for mine when I was 16.

    • @revolver265

      Yikes. That hurts. For me, it was before I was born. My dad had a Mk.3 Supra _Turbo_ after marrying, then decided to sell it after repeated engine issues rather than legitimately trying to rebuild the engine. Traded it in for a DC2 Integra Type-R, white like all the rest, but with a A/C re-add.
      Like yourself, he took his eyes off the car for, like, 5 minutes, he had to visit family overseas. Less than a year after buying it, the insurance company and cops found it on a hill with no engine. When I mentioned how much they were worth a few months back new, my mom couldn't sleep.
      Goddamn Civic kids putting different engines in things, they had to come from somewhere and I got robbed of a chance to drive a DC2.

    Legit spilled my drink when I realised that Lynk had 592 Hp. In a FWD car.
    I mean, I'd heard about that car before, guessed it had 400-ish hrsprs and was just super light, with a stupid amount of downforce that no sensible car should ever have and some clever engineering trickery to achieve a lap time faster than a Ferrari 488.
    Then James mentioned it's top speed and I completely lost it.

Little did I know, it made me love hatchbacks a little and I then went on to become a fanboy of them eventually buying one for a project car.

      It really depends on the engine.
      The Clios with the small engines are great, but I would stay away from a Renault Scenic with a 1.4
      The 1.9D was the best engine Renault ever made, it was used for over 20 years with and without Turbo, it was actually so good that Volvo; what was very picky in the 80s, took them.
      The Clio and Megane cup cars are all co-developed by the F1 mechanics, this is why they so bonkers.

      I feel like the C5 doesn't get the respect it deserves either. I mean, the C5 is what really all the other Corvettes after are built upon. You can literally use C6 parts on a C5 or vice versa because they are literally the same. The C7 was just a better version of the C6 as the C6 was just a slightly better version of the C5. Plus, the C5 is what gave us all the LS engines. You can buy a used C5 that is still mechanically sound for roughly $10,000. That's how much I got mine for just over a year ago. It had 105,000 miles on it when I got it. It now has over 135,000 miles and has gone from Texas to Maine and back again. 2 days each way. I have driven mine in the middle of a few snow storms and she still goes just as fast as the day I first got her.

      @@Wah-Fer I've owned 2 Renaults and inc Megane RS250 and I also own a Mk6 GTi and to be perfectly honest the Renault brand has come a long way. unfortunatley same can't be said for the VW its a crappy engine with reliability issues to make anyones eyes water. give me an Renault RS anyday even their Clio's are deadly.
