First of all, they created a FWD class because their was a demand for it, not because it is a better way to go drag racing. Under identical regs, FWD cars will get owned at every level of drag racing. You allow the cars to be light enough, modified enough, they may run competitively at some levels, but you will not ever see a FWD dragster going 4s at 333mph.

AWD is banned or heavily penalized in most touring car classes. Look it up, the information is freely available on the web.

Are you guys really arguing that FWD is a better platform than RWD or AWD to go fast? Are you, really? And you're calling me nuts????

Rally, circuit race, drag race or oval race a FWD car running identical weight/horsepower/structural standards as their RWD or AWD competitors and tell me how you do.
