FF cars = FAIL.
RWD cars = badass.
Dude, how dense are you? I love the AE86 chassis Corolla, but don't get me wrong; you completely contradicted yourself here. You said that all of those factory modified FF cars were simply better trim levels. What do you think the AE86 was? It was simply a trim level up from the base, economy car, SR5 Corolla.
Also, take the new Civic Si. Before that thing was even on the showroom floor, Honda campaigned it in the 25 Hours of Thunderhill, where it won overall, capturing 1st and 2nd place, beating out a LOT of RWD cars.
You're just plain ignorant, and nothing I say can fix that.
