Hmmmm it would appear that the counter responses to my statement mostly revolve around "if" I had such and such a RWD car things would have been different. This may show the generational changes since when I was a teenager all cars were RWD so it didn't matter if you had a Mustang, challenger or Buick Electra they could all do pretty much the same things.
It seems that the thought is more centered around the mystic of the drive wheels than the actually beating of the car.
A teenager that starts out driving RWD should in theory be better at it than a 30 year old that has driven only FWD for a decade or so.
I still maintain that even today a teenager will try to drive a Dodge Caravan as hard as any FRS/BRZ and it is just not designed for that type of use.
