colin, FWD does have an inherent disadvantage (understeer, torque steer, weight transfer, etc), but everything can be countered (to a certain extent)
anti-dive suspension geometry
high-viscous, low lock-up LSD
instantaneous throttle response (FI is not an option, except blower)
low polar moment of inertia
low center of gravity
short wheelbase
lock-up rear parking brake

i would've thought you, wicky, of all people would appreciate an FWD track monster that could thoroughly embarrass a RWDer
granted, FWD does suck, but when an underpowered FWD can outrun a proper RWD, you gotta give it props

FWD isn't great, but it's not as bad as all of you say. I have a FWD Civic Si and it can out handle my RWD Toyota Tundra. And the Tundra has 80 more HP. Geez, some people just don't give FWD any credit.
