yeah thats why i would like a fwd and awd 1g dsm. o i typed that wrong i meant to say fwd at the begining. i think most of my races will be on the highway unless its a stop light in the town or somthing.
What mph do you plan on starting the highway races from? If you seriously go into modding a FWD, you will not have traction until 4th gear. If you race more from 40-120 or so, a similar modded AWD will probly be quicker. I think fwd is overrated when it comes to a race from a roll. AWD is not slow at all from a roll. Almost everyone who mods a FWD wishes they would hae gone AWD. FWD gets better gas milage and display of horsepower (burnouts), but lacks an important quality in racing. Traction.
