Default Import VS Domestic

I have been asked alot lately how it feels to drive a front wheel drive car with decent power vs a rear wheel drive with decent power.

Well honestly the burnout and starting line is about the only differance. Once you get going they both are pretty even.

However on the Turbo VS Nitrous feeling there is nothing like a 3rd gear pull of a Turbo. Truly differant lay you in the seat action there!

I've driven alot of fast cars, and I must say that the FWD cars don't put you into the seat as hard as the RWD ones.

Id agree on some power levels. You will never get the feel of a 7 second RWD pro Stock in a FWD car. But being pulled down the track does feel awesome at 140+mph!
