Default Anyone regret boosting FWD

I'm at that point where I'm considering boosting but the first thing that came to mind was 'sh*t, I own a fwd'.



So my question is do any of you regret dropping the money into your car or would you rather have bought a different car worth like the value of your car + cost of turbo build?

absolutely not. in fact, I can't think of a single car worth twice what I have into mine that I would trade her for. Of course, I'm emotionally attached so I have to take that into account.



FWD is not a bad thing. it's lighter than RWD and much lighter than AWD. they have their pitfalls too. RWD is tail happy (especially in the snow) and AWD puts a lot of stress on the drivetrain. don't be so concerned about which wheels you're driving, rather the force you drive them with.
