Just under 8 seconds is damn impressive for a FWD drag car, but this is NOT an SRT-4, it's a tube-frame chassis with a body that barely resembles an SRT-4.
Now, I bet, if this had been RWD, same engine, same weight, it probably coulda knocked at least a second off that time... still don't understand why people go all out, making a drag car, then make it FWD...
...it's like cutting down a tree with a pocket knife, I mean SURE, it can be done, by why go to all that trouble when you have a saw sitting right next to you?

Because its women who always do things the easy way. Its men who always seek for the most complicated solution and the try to engineer around it.

Its a challenge. Thats basically it, some fool went and got a good time, so now everyone has to try and beat it. Then someone beats that time, and so on and so on.

#2 Look at the early Porsche 911 for example. Handling-wise, it was a horrible mistake to put the engine behind the rear wheels and the early models were almost dangerous to drive. Women would have changed the position of the engine, men kept it in place and engineered around the problem.
(Yes, inspired by TopGear). And yes, it has nothing to do with being an man, but here´s another example: Butterfly-style in swimming. There are other, more economic ways of comleting the 100 meters, but nevertheless people still swim in that way.

#5, I have a joke.

The first ladys says. Why are you pulled over with your bonnet up.
2nd lady, Because the car broke down, opened the bonnet, and found its got no engine!
1st lady, oooh thats ok, I have a spare one in the boot of mine!
*to you sir, I beg to differ!*

#7 Compare the junkjard-Turbos to the "showcar"-Rice mobiles... it´s the absence on money that sparks the fire of mens unbelievable ingenuity... its the unstoppable wave of almighty cash that fuels mens equally unbelievable stupidity.

Ok, then. FWD dragracing is something new and although it is less effektive than RWD dragracing ist is done, because it can be done. Where is the problem? If they want to find out who can build the fastest FWD 1/4 mile car, why not? We already know the fastest RWD car.

I think FWD drag racing is one of those "because we can" kind of things.

#12, By your logic, why is there a Pro Stock class? Those cars are often expensive to build, and obviously will never be as fast as top-fuel stuff.

they don't, if it has wheels chances are somebody is trying to make it as fast as possible.

#12, FWD dragging is just another racing 'class'... with it's limits and rules...
I personally think it's kinda stupid for all of the points that Dirf has brought up - but meh... it's just the rules of the game

#12 I don´t know wether the car above is used for competition (are there FWD-classes?) or just fun fun at the weekend. If it is a fun-car, then, to a large degree, I understand your point. It it is used for real racing events, then... well... you don´t approach a Truck-racer and tell him how stupid he is and how much faster an equally-priced GT-car can get around that track.
