Why would it be stupid to build a fwd auto drag car?

Well its proven that a fwd dsm can go faster than 9s ( look up a guy named Kiggly)
and its also proven that a built automattic setup is actually better for drag in most cases.

I dont think theres nothing wrong with spending all that time/money on making a fast n/a 420a. Obviously thats what he wanted to do. Now will he still get raped against a lightly modded turbo dsm, yea sure, but at least theres no all motor 420a guys messin with him.

hmmm...well in that case yes I would give him MAD props. Guess im just not used to seeing any built up N/A 420a's. Tom, no I have not built a drag car, but wouldn't you agree that building an automatic AWD over a auto FWD would be a little more, well smart, especially for drag?

Joe Bucci didnt think so
Well let me correct that, Joe Bucci isnt automattic, but Just emphasizing that fwds can go quick to. The Automattic part doesnt matter, you just set it up differently.

Joe has a automatic sitting in his garage that he will be using one day.
he has been wanting to switch over to it for some time now.

With Drag Radials you could launch that Fwd just as well as a Awd except the Fwd should be lighter due to less parts.

i think the time is pretty damn good for that power level. Your not gonna find a stock turbo car putting out 200 hp that runs a 13.3. Mark gets my thumbs up!
