I order my cars as close to base as possible, so I am happy.
444hp on a lighter car with smaller wheels will feel quicker than more power on a heavier car with larger wheels.
The manual RWD car is supposed to drop weight, so the power to weight ratio is what you want to look for.
I will say a sedan/touring in AWD and 6MT is an empty space at the moment, so anyone looking for that combo should be disappointed if no 6MT is paired with AWD. |
This!
Why worry about what the dang thing is called?
So what if the heavier AT AWD car has higher numbers. P/W ratio is where it's at and they're all gonna be amazing to drive. I'm lusting after an AWD M3.
The"base" is still ridiculous good hp.
Comp for you overachieving knuckleheads.
