I'm looking for a tight sport car that is front wheel drive. Please give me some car names?
Answer
There are no FWD sports cars. Lots of 'sporty' FWD's as identified in earlier response.

rear wheel drive cars?
~MEEEOW~
what are some of the benefits of having rear wheel drive, especially in sports cars? Thanks in advance!!
What is torque steer and over steer?
Answer
Rear wheel drive cars are known to have better power distribution to the wheels and better traction on road surfaces.
Especially in sports cars, which are designed for performance, factors such as stability of the car under any road condition are essential.
Unlike a front wheel drive car, in which the engine delivers power to the front wheels alone. The rear wheels are simply being 'dragged' along with the rest of the vehicle. The function of the rear wheels in a front wheel drive car is simply to support the structure of the vehicle and nothing more than that. There is no traction in the rear of the car.
In a rear wheel drive car, all the power and traction is supplied to the rear wheels, while the front wheels are used to steer the car.
Over Steer - Suppose you are driving a nose heavy car (a car which has got a heavier front than the rear), going fast around a curve could result in the car losing traction (grip) from the rear end and having its back being flung outside the curve. Over Steer can also result from bad aerodynamics which fail to equalize downforce on the front and rear of the car, i.e. higher down force at the front and no or very low downforce at the rear.
Traction in the rear wheels is preferable as power delive
