However, to me, FWD is a clear and distinct disadvantage in drag racing.  All you are doing is accelerating, and you lose the weight transfer benefit of RWD.

I know Rob.....everytime I say to one of my co-workers what I drive and what I spend my week-ends doing, they look at me like Im on crack.

All i say is:" What do you drive? and lets go to the track"

As for drag racing....

I do it for fun and to see how my mods improve the car. I just started this year and I am hooked. I mean I could be doing it on the streets if yad like? :o :ph34r:

Hey man, whatever floats your boat. I do it occaisionally too for fun or bragging rights (though I haven't been in years). And anything is better on the street. I'm just saying I don't understand guys who focus on it, build dedicated FWD drag cars. Or really, dont' even understand why sport compact guys care so much about it, considering their cars are MUCH better suited to road racing, autocross, or rally.

Hell, I can't understand ANYBODY'S fascination with drag racing. It's so one dimensional.

Scooba: I think the GT28R is a great little turbo, but 260fwhp is pushing it. GT28RS would be better, but you are starting to give up a lot of response. So it depends on what your goal is. If you want to go drag racing, go with a GT28RS. If you want to have fun on twisty roads, road courses, or autocross, scale back your expectations a little bit, and stick with the GT28R.
