Max Verstappen Was Right About Front Wheel Drive (Kinda)
By Brian Gillespie and Aaron Gaghagen
We all remember when F1 multi championship winning driver, Max Verstappen ripped on front wheel drive cars while behind the wheel of a (gulp) Ford (puke) for an interview for his new power unit supplier. While we don't agree that FF is "anti-driving", we do agree that when it comes to the S2000, FR is the champion when it comes to ease of engine mount installation. Brian shows this advantage in this real time installation video. We show the entire process WITHOUT editing to prove this point.
