In the end RWD wins all, but you can still have fun with FWD cars and surprise a few people from time to time.
I wouldn't say that

i dont think that the fwd/rwd conflict will ever be resolved. there are always gonna be cars that shoulda been rwd but are fwd. but most ppl learn to live with it and come up with ways to make their fwd cars faster and more reliable than rwd. yeah ill admit that the monte would have been a little better if it had stayed rwd. but if it did then none of us would be able to get the same level of satisfaction when we smoke a cocky driver in his camaro or mustang. the fact that the monte is fwd just makes it that more unique and makes the ppl modding them that much more in touch with their cars.

I think you miss understood what I was saying Mels. The videos you showed me were of cars that didn't run any faster then a 14 second 1/4 mile time. That's not fast, especially when top fuel cars are running sub 4 second 1000' times at 325mph+. Top fuel cars are the fastest cars on the planet (acceleration wise) and they are RWD. That's what I meant when I said that in the end RWD wins, because a FWD car will NEVER be that fast.

But I'll say it again, it's fun to surprise some of those RWD guys with our FWD Montes. It is more satisfying, like bama_Z34 said.

^That's a pretty sweet Camaro. What engine do you have in there? Also, any dyno numbers or 1/4 mile times with that Camaro? I've always been kind of a third gen fan when it comes to Camaros. They look good.

Agreed all I was saying also people shouldn't take us likely.

And SittnOn4z when you can't say what times you run I raise the BS flag on anything your talking about. And I never said I could beat and 10 second car yet but I will.
