You or anyone has to realize that fwd is JUST NOT OPTIMAL...



How do you know a Honda anything running 20lbs of boost will get beat by a supra??? Do you drive a honda running that much boost, have you seen a honda running that much boost. Or did you hear from a friend that FWD just cant be fast, its just impossible, theres just no way to overcome the disadvantage.???

FWD is not optimal, just like having a 3400lb car is not OPTIMAL, if you want whats optimal then save up for a real race car. Or you can do the best with what you got and beat YES BEAT supra's vette's or whatever else.

Of course the vette isnt making the power it should be, thats the american way.
