Very true, but its current form has a lot of FWD drags. The original "import" drags were air-cooled VW drags. They're still very popular given the combination of RWD/rear engine weight distribution, light weight, huge aftermarket parts market, and continuing advancements in both VW Type I and Type IV engines.Chaos32;503858; said:

I don't know bout you but seeing some of those FF NA imports hitting 10s is impressive to me. Having said that, am more into Skylines then anything else.

I agree. Drag is cool but... the better you get, the faster its over. It is easier to get into though. Most road tracks have some pretty crazy member fees. I wish I could afford autobahn cc.
That would be nice, but I need to get another car first. I have a few friends who are members at the track. Lucky batards go racing every week it seems. I have seen some clubs up there (I think the last one I seen was the audi club).
Do you race there?

Nothing beats a RWD Funny car going 5 seconds in the quarter! The sound! What a RUSH! Could only imagine driving that fast! They have the summer nationals here in New Jersey.
I like RWD imports or things that you have a hard time getting in the US. I've given up on the R33/34 and switched to looking for a good Silvia. I hope to get one in the next 6 months or so.
I have done the drag thing in the past with my over powered V8 fox body Mustangs, but as of about three years ago gone toward corner carving with a Eaton M112 supercharged V6 Mustang that sticks to a corner just as well as any AWD car.
I have to admit that seeing what some of these FWD cars can do is imporessive. But straight lines aren't my thing.
