So yeah, Honda today can make something FWD and faster at the track than a 2017 BRZ, stock vs stock.

Back in the 90s I started to write a song about Ricing.
"Iced out Riced out Honda Civic Clear the lights out" I didn't get very far, lol. This is when the "Altezza tail lights" were all the rage, btw. |

but that is what happens when any car hits the ring. Seriously they probably put $50k in mods and engineering to get it ready for the run.

Your statement is very much class dependent. There is plenty of quantifiable results that prove FWD cars can be very competitive as full on race cars competing against RWD cars in the same class. PWC and Conti series both have examples competing at this time. However in the high power classes we all know that RWD and AWD are the only practical setups to effectively harness the power. I have know idea what this current conversation has to do with the original thread content unless you are suggesting that ricer and FWD are synonymous?

Would you really rather take this: over this "LOL FWD automatic rice" ITR? And once again, no one but you is calling an FWD Honda a "sports car." |
