Did they fix the physics engine when it comes to rear wheel drive cars in Forza 5?
As Im playing through this fantastic game, is it a placebo effect or did they fix the rear wheel drive handling in this game? I remember having to put all my cars to 4 wheel dive in order to make them stable and fast enough.

CMV: The front engine rear wheel drive platform for high performance cars is outdated
Considering how powerful a lot of cars are, one of the major factors for how fast they go is where their engine is located compared to the drive wheels. A Dodge Hellcat Challenger needs incredibly sticky tires to do well in an eighth mile event because most of the weight is over the front wheels. The Ferrari 812 Superfast is hitting a wall too because of it's FR layout. You know what doesn't have traction issues? C8 Corvette, Porsche 911 and McLaren 720S, because their engines are either in the middle of the car or over the rear wheels.
It also helps a lot with braking too, making sure that brakes at all 4 corners carry more of the workload. Sure, you have less trunk space and it is a bit harder to build, but we aren't talking about hatchbacks here that need to be super practical...
Yet another update on Steve. He is now even more aggressive thanks to him now having twin turbos. Also as you can tell, there is much more work to be done because I still have to improvise the 4 wheel drive system because neither the front or rear axle is connected to the engine. reddit.com/gallery/kyo9n2
