Dude...the front wheels are powering the car, which makes it FWD. Look at the video again.

i agree theat more of a RWD setup going in the car backwards, to make it FWD. there are several guys in PR that have actual FWD 12A's and 13B's. they use a Toyota carola and custom bellhousing. they are sweet runners. props to the car though. at least they used a Mazda

Mike R · 08-22-2006, 09:01 PM

That's definately cheating....The front end is extended so far out. Which is actually a benefit because of the wieght put on the tires. That car ran low 10's or better with an FS-DE too...Guess that got boring.
