In my opinion FWD isn't so bad when it comes to road racing. Look at the SCCA World Challenge series for Touring Class. FWD cars are dominating.

Also the engine that comes in the tc is great when you add some boost to it. My friend had a 2006 tc with a t3/t4 turbo kit on it and it's just nuts how fast and fun that car is to drive. I will try to get some pix up of his car asap

AWD was a whole new world when i came from a 78 chevy truck. same hp...but traction and boost outweigh in most aspects. no more smoky burnouts...
