I WONDER....

Yes sorry if I seemed upset. I wasn't taking offense. My goal is to create a fast car that not only proves that FWD can still be made to contend but to prove others wrong that just cuz a car is a certain way stock doesn't mean that it can't be made into something great. I want FWD 1. because I really don't want a heavy car and doing an AWD conversion will make my car heavy and 2. I just think it hasn't been done much and it would be cool to have some more FWD TT's on the map. I agree an AWD car is alway going to be better for traction but I dunno...if I was going to do an AWD conversion....i should just go buy a VR4 b/c then my car will just be a clone and nothing really original. Plus 480+ WHP to the front wheels sounds like some crazy/scary fun hahahaha.
And in response to Joel_CA: That post is a few days old and I have learned quite a bit since then. And the fact that i don't know everything right now is why I haven't bought it yet. See...I plan to buy the parts and build the engine first before I ever put it in. I will be running my NA setup until it is all done. Which gives me more time to figure stuff out just INCASE i don't know everything at the beginning. When I drop my engine in, I will have the new turbo's on and prob a TDO4 kit, LSD in my transmission with solid engine mounts to hold it all in. I should be making around 475+hp to the front wheels hahaha....crazyness.

No worries![Big Grin](https://mitsubishiforum.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
FWD cars are contenders, they always have been if done correctly. From a dig, FWD vs. RWD, the RWD may have an upper hand since the weight is transferred to the rear but at speed and if they have identical power, it's all a matter of how the driver..drives. I don't think it's good to match up FWD vs. AWD though. The only way an AWD car can beat a FWD at speed is with a bigger turbo or the FWD owner doesn't know how to "drive", lol. The bigger turbo is usually the case because most AWD owners know better, lol. When I "play" around it's usually from a dig...because I have a 4 spider center diff and aftermarket clutch
...so I can rev high and do a quick slip. BTW, weight is easily overcome by power![Wink](https://mitsubishiforum.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Sounds like a good and obtainable goal and it sounds like you're on the right track with the research mindset..so geterdone! There's a lot of high powered FWD cars that would make you drool, lol. FWD aren't slackers IMO, just misunderstood and underrated at times, lol.

haha, then tell me why i cant help but beat my two buddies with supras off a dig. one has a mk2 and the other has a mk3. both are non turbo and, rwd like always. atually the mk2 with only 160 fly wheel hp gave me more of a fight than the mk3 that has alot more work done to it to increas the power to about 180whp.

yeah i think it's the hp over them. the mk3 has some cusom work, done himself. no supervision. haha. they both have brand new engines. the mk2 just put in a new 5mgte and hes running very strong. the mk2 put up more of a fight. haha. also they are both manual, as is mine and the mk3 and i both have lsd.
i think it's because of the gearing of my transmission. also i launched and he didn't but i still beat him by quite a bit by the time i was exitting 2nd gear. i would say 3 cars but im not completely sure.
