It's wrong wheel drive. LolDriving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.Comment

Charlie, do you have any Pikes Peak experience, even just as a spectator? Given that it's uphill, I could see where rear/mid-engine is an advantage. Like a mid-engine aluminum small-block Festy......we demand you build one for this race, then go win it. Then tell them you have a total of $3k into the car. Don't forget the fuzzy dice.Originally posted by Advancedynamix View PostLast edited by TominMO; 09-04-2015, 01:06 PM.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

Yes, I've been to the clouds and back, back when the entire coarse was gravel. FWD is not only better, but a Forward weight bias is also beneficial. Audi had great success at Pike's peak with forward weight bias.Last edited by Advancedynamix; 09-04-2015, 04:57 PM.Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege.

I feel that the big reason we haven't seen more FWD success is because more time and money are spent dialing in other platforms. Also, when time and money are spent on FWD cars, it seems to be directed at making the Front driven platform behave like a rwd arrangement.
My theory is that when the FWD platform is optimized and used in accordance with it's strengths, it will out perform any other setup.
Now somebody please post that meme with the kid on the big wheel.Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege.
