Also, I **** on "all-motor" tuners.

Why use an 8 cyl instead of a jet engine?
Why don't you make an a tube chassis RWD?
The questions are endless.
The fact is, they are doing a nice job on that car. First Canadian tube chassis and it's what they want. Not what other people want them to build.

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
There are lots of engines that work, how much power you make really just depends on the size of your turbocharger...
But fwd is just against all logic in drag racing, since all acceleration IS trying to move weight from the front wheels and put it on the back wheels, you just never get the same kind of traction and there are enough traction problems in powerful RWD cars.

You guys are so ------- ignorant..
FWD cars are coming a very long way. lets compare Pro FWD and Pro RWD classes a quick second.
Lisa Kubo 7.821 @ 195.05
Nelson Hoyos 7.658 @ 181.79
PRO FWD is in mid 7's with almost 200mph trap speeds with 4cylinder engines.
Stephan Papadakis runs 6.779 @ 203.19 in pro RWD and this is a 6cylinder class, he is also the fastest RWD sport compact in the world.
FWD has come a very long way and it will be soon with fwd/rwd are going to be very close in times.

All-motor FWD and RWD compete all the time. RWD bugs and mazdas seem to be the only competition for FWD Hondas.
Do a comparison with N/A cars Jeff.
