As I said, Honda does deserve alot of credit for what they have done in the FWD drag racing scene (if you feel it's something to give credit for ), but remember, it is the FWD drag racing scene in America. I don't see it as the domestics jumping on the bandwagon, they were blindsided by the whole sport compact scene, remember 5.0s were the civics of the late 80's early 90's and before that it was camaros. I just think they thought it was a fad that would pass, now that they've accepted it and are starting to play, they are playing well I don't hate any cars that are built well and perform well, don't really care who built them, and don't really care which wheels move them. I installed Mike Yonke's first nitrous kit and used to love watching him beat up on the people in his class with more money in their cars, even made a pass in the car, so I certainly don't hate them. My project I was building before the buick was a FWD 90 eclipse, (still have the motor if anyone's interested). I just think it's funny that when GM got involved, FWD's go 7's, which a couple of years ago, nobody, including those in the scene thought they'd ever see 7's. You don't think GM feels they have something to prove, do you?
