FWD is fine for low HP and short endurance. Over 300 HP, FWD just gets overwhelmed. In terms of endurance, the longer the race, the slower the FWD car will get as the front tires wear so quickly in comparison to a RWD car.

I agree with Blacknot, the Mugen Si will not be a great car from either the performance or value angle. Historically, a hot drivetrain is superior to an appearance package, which is much of what the Mugen Si is except for the suspension tweaks.

i dont believe in this. these jdm video are sometimes paid by the car manufacturer to advertise their new model cars and show people that the new cars are a lot faster than the old model cars... like the BMI 350z video beating all other JDM cars hello 350zs are so slow!!! these is just a marketing strategy .

Lap times are lap times. The CTR did go around Tsubuka quicker than the S. I don't think Honda would rig S2K's lap time a few years ago so that the 2008 CTR could beat it
