If your plans consist of going to the track and running sub-par ET's but high traps then FWD is not a big deal. The only way you are going to get decent ET's out a of FWD is to drop a lot of weight. If you do not plan on gutting the shit out of your car Kevin you will alway be disappointed at the track.

On the street however, a 600whp FWD would be insane if it wasn't too heavy and had good tires. And especially if you do a 2.14 it would be even more lethal considering you could stay in gears almost as long as a crotch-rocket.

Either way to each their own. I love my FWD Laser. But when your are at a stoplight next to something that you know can hook up. You are just like "fuck" what am I going to do now. There is nothing like ripping some Shitstang out of the hole in a AWD on the street when they are on street tires. Granted at the track on slicks them RWD cars can pull some sick sixty foots though too.

I plan on gutting the car it's going to be basically a full race car pretty much. nothing in it really but a cage and a seat... and on the occasion two seats. Its not going to be easy I know this but I'am going to be shooting for somewhere around 10's or possibly lower depending on the set up and if it will allow it... well just have to wait and see. I'm not jokeing about this eather its lagit. I will most likely have an AWD dialy car.. but the laser will never really have any dormit day's.
