Simple question.
Can I get a FWD down to 2300lbs realistically? (2150 wet + me = 2320) Gross, what does anallube weigh? -------------------- 2009 Scion Tc

Darryl, since you have experience on the more serious racing level...
What are the serious fwd guys running? Do they find it easier to get the quick et's due to the lower weight? I would think that with the right suspension and traction set-up it would be relatively easy to get competitive 60' times, and run out an awd on the big end. Am I anywhere near accurate? -------------------- 2009 Scion Tc
