@NightPhantom3923 ай бұрын
I'm pretty sure it's AWD not FWD. There is a FWD but the 400 HP MKZ is AWD. The MKS is a TT Eco as well with 360ish HP. I got my wife the TT AWD Lincoln. It's nice but you def have to tune it and fuck around with it. Has some noticeable turbo lag at times. The main downside is the lack of mod support and, it becomes problematic once you start reaching higher HP. We got the wife's to 435HP and I use it to kill unsuspecting cars all the time. Usually base model BMW, Acuras and V6 Mopars are the ones that try it the most. I think they look at it as easy prey but end up embarrassed and getting off the hwy early when I slow to see their face.
