I dont get this one problem I am trying to figure out.
Why arent there tons of FWD dsm's running 10s, 11s, and 12s?
This car has been around for 15 years and there are like a handfull of fast FWD's
On the other hand, the srt4, only around for like 3 years, has dozens of cars in the 11's, hundreds in the 12's and some in the 10s, most on stock blocks and trannies still
I dont get it??? Is there just something weird about our cars? Why is it so hard for us to go fast?
I am very very tempted to kill this trend. My tranny blew 2nd and I was gonna swap a stocker in and sell the car, but im like 99% set for calling TRE and ordering their race tranny, swapping some slicks on it and puttin down some times.
They have this new AWD tranny setup they are selling that work on FWD dsm's, and retain the awd gearing, maybe the fwd tranny isnt geared right or something, maybe the awd tranny will help???
Its expensive, $2500 with quaife, but its brand new, its built up and it has better gearing.
I put down 342whp on my old bullseye turbo, vtrim, and Im getting a 50trim from them now to replace my old turbo and then some cams to get about 400whp
With that and traction, it should easily do 11's. If not, Im stumped. I just dont understand why there arent more hardcore FWD dsm's around.
