"Lot of traction"

Due to front weight bias...?? By what %....?

What FWD lacks is the weight distribution between front and rear.

"What FWD lacks..."

But with "even" weight distribution the FWD "advantage" disappears, do it not...??

But even if the minor weight advantage, <5% typically, does go in the favor of FWD for "driving" forces what happens when a significant level of that front traction needs to be, SHOULD BE, allocated to lateral use, directional control....??

I think that would be called not going where you wanted to go....
