yeah have you ever WATCHED a FWD drag car? its hilarious the wheels spin forever, and half the time they dont even make it off the line, because those half shafts snap like twigs. of course they could get more power out of some of those cars, but that would just further decrease their chances of actually going anywhere. and SCC did a comparison on this a couple of years ago, to test FWD vs RWD vs AWD in various conditions on similar cars. with all three cars at similar power and what not the RWD was found to be the best drag platform by far, with AWD as second and FWD as dead last. i dont remember FWD winning much of anything in the comparison, it did outperform RWD on the "Slip and slide" wet track, but not much else.
