If you learn the techniques to make a FWD car fast, understand how to set it up to remove as much understeer as possible they can put down some really great times.
I think it's not a matter of whether FWD cars are capable or not, it's that the FWD hot hatch market is saturated. You can get any FWD car in a fast flavor. If you wanted one, you would've bought one already.
