There have already been a few FWD DSMs and CSMs in the 9s. If you want to make a name for yourself build the car to Turbo 4 class specs and try to take on some of the light Hondas, most of the cars in that class run mid 9s to high 10s. God knows they try to make the rules so that AWDs can't be that competative in it. The Hotrod/Quick 16 class is a bit out of the range of normal people with mid 8 second Hondas running alcohol and crazy trannies.
