why all the love for rwd, rwd does not mean power. rwd means low fuel economy and the ability to wheelie ( with lots of power). fwd cars tend to have better gas mileage and are easy to add power to. The lightest of your choices is the crx, do a b18 or b16 swap. stock this will put you at low 14's, with turbo your easily into low 12's. tons of parts and aftermarket show parts.

because a rwd will always be quicker than a fwd.. thats why. He wants to go fast, rwd is the only way to go. You need alot more power in a fwd car to run the same times as a rwd car with less power. rwd hooks up alot better.

Since you want show and go....I'd say the Eclipse or the Prelude.

Just for the record, I'd feel like a complete moron if I had to swap motors to go 14's. A turbo = easy 12's? Give me a break.

i agree that rwd is always better for performance in all respects (much more than just driving in a straight line), but he said he's on a budget...
as mush as i love rwd i still drive a honda b/c i'm po'
but seriously if your budget is that tight and you want fast, go w/a crx...boost a single cam (dime-a-dozen motors), learn how to drive fwd and just have fun w/it

If you have FWD, you might as well go RHD as well and have the whole car be wrong wheel drive
