    And they'd still be right. Which car moved off the line quicker and harder? The RWD car. Had the hp to weight ratios been equal, the RWD car would've crapped all over the FWDriver. Period. Making the drive wheels also have to do the steering and then hanging them off of the end of the car that gets the short end of the weight transfer stick is an exquisitely bad idea, especially when you're trying to make your drive axles live with the kind of power that nets you six second, damned near 200mph time slips.

    Ever seen a FWD Indy car? How about a FWD F1 car? Top Fuel? Alky? Pro Stock? Didn't think so. If FWD was such a superior racing platform it would have taken over years ago. Just because someone has success beating their heads against an oddball class record does not suddenly make what they're doing the smart thing for everybody to switch to. Your ignorance is hanging out, so you might want to tuck it back in a little...

    BTW, props to the racer making the most of a handicap he's stuck with.

    Damn, one guy posts a vid of a 6 second FWD and now he's ignorant? Sounds like you are having a bad day or have a personal vendetta against FWD. I didn't see anyone arguing that FWD was faster

    We all know that FWD is not the optimal setup, he was just making a statement that 6 seconds is hauling ass and people like you will still say "thats shit, its fwd." Go take your book of fail somewhere else. I will give mad props for running 6's. Thats faster than 99.99999% of us will ever go.

    It figures that a liberal would look at something and get it completely wrong. Did you look at the post I quoted? Was it from the OP or was it from someone after the fact?

    You said:

    Really? What does this look like to you?:

    Car Guy, the poster I took issue with, made what I consider an ignorant statement. He alludes to the supposition that somehow one man's achievement with a handicapped drive train layout is a game changer. Gee, now that one guy has gone 6's with a FWD car, we should all switch over. That's why he had the little smiley after his post. I just thought I'd make a logical argument against such thinking. I just did it my usual, un-candy-coated manner.

    I also gave props to the racer for his achievement. Had you read the whole post you would have seen that.

    LOL how does that me a liberal?

    Sorry I don't know all the feuds people have with each other on here. I'll try to keep up on the soap opera that is BCM better next time, my bad.

    Also I did read Car Guy's comment and to me that just meant "someone is going to hate on FWD" not "OMG FWD is the best!!!"

    Calling you a liberal has nothing to do with this thread, but your posts up in the "heated discussions" area. Those lead me to believe that you are, in fact, a liberal, and that gives me some insight to your faulty way of reading things.

    I'm neither a Liberal nor a Conservative but nice try to judge me and be the mighty all-knowing one

    Both parties just argue and bitch at each other so much that nothing ever gets done.

    All posts from the above author are expected to be 100% BS. Thank you and have a nice day.

    UGH i have a front wheel drive turbo'd car and i hate it cause broken axles suck, no traction off the line sucks, girls dont like 4cly's, and cops profile me as a fast and furious fag so i get pulled over all the time. FWD is a garbage setup and this is coming from someone who has a FWD car. Next car im doing ls1 camaro FTW.
