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

Why use a 4 cyl instead of 8?
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.

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.

http://www.saturnmotorsports.com/pix/ProFront.jpg

Lisa Kubo 7.821 @ 195.05

http://www.nhrasportcompact.com/2004...lson_hoyos.jpg

Nelson Hoyos 7.658 @ 181.79

PRO FWD is in mid 7's with almost 200mph trap speeds with 4cylinder engines.

http://www.stephanpapadakis.com/cars/images/rwd.jpg

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.

Egg Zachary!
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.

what about front engine front wheel drive vs rear engine rear wheel drive.

just put a huge aluminum wing on your hood and then you don't have to worry about traction problems.
