"As a rule of thumb 150hp is the limit for a FF car of average weight"
Any basis for this claim? Seems like an arbitrary number to me.--RA64 20:31, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
Seems bogus to me. A modern BMW MINI Cooper S is and FF car that has 169 hp (stock) but with the JCW factory-installed tuning kit, goes up to about 215hp, there are aftermarket options to get you to 245 hp and still be street-legal. Is it of "average weight"? I don't know what we are taking the average of - so it's hard to know. At 2600lbs, I'd say it was below average weight for a typical street-car. My "daily driver" is a Cooper'S with after-market mods that are roughly equivelent to the JCW tuning kit - and it's VERY drivable at 215hp. SteveBaker 05:42, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

It is inaccurate to describe a driveshaft as "... providing power to the rear wheels" It transmits torque to rear wheels.
