The point is to do something that is, or at least was, difficult. It's not a challenge to build a 5 second car, assuming the money is available. The challenge is to be the first to do something, like the first front driver in the 7s or the first import to break a 200 mph trap speed.

My point is just because a car is rwd does not mean it will necessarily be faster than a fwd car. True, rwd cars do have more physics working in their favor compared to fwd cars. However, there are also many ways a fwd car can overcome it's inherent disadvantage.

MAZDA = sports car company
HONDA = economy car company

I'm not saying you wont win, chances are you will, I'm just saying be carful not to be to zealous about it.
