In the snow & snot I'll take FWD any time especially if limited to an auto tranny.

Yeah. I know. Pretty sad, isn't it. You could get a manual valve body and a B&M shifter though. Also, I figured if the hp was pushed up too much it would bias everyone to rear drive.

Which Wheel Drive?

Since this vehicle is a car and I do live where winter can be an issue, I would choose the front wheel drive. With the exception of race and performance cars, you can't hardly buy a rear wheel drive car. The science of pulling over pushing makes sense. Every manufacturer including the foreign carmakers are producing FWD's, why re-invent the wheel?
