yeh well, hes already prooven that he can go quicker than dubbed rwd's ;)

dont the 4wd's have to weigh up the size of their tires vs drivetrain, vs traction loss off the mark? ie, to much risk of blowing axles, to little, to much spin, yada yada

but yeh, should be very interesting!!

Did the Tubbed RWD's have the same power/weight? Dont think so. The power these 4WD cars make in a RWD chassis would have them going a fair wack quicker. But, that said - its put them at the forefront of his class. If everyone just went for the most efficient method, pro import would all be rotary powered rails or buckets... And thats it :lol:

Not really, there are plenty of 3/4 chassis cars that are quicker. Have you ever actually seen some of the really quick cars launch? You'd think they were 4WD by the way they bite and go.
1988 KE70 Wagon - Slowly rusting
1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time
OMG so shiny!

Damn, I wish Glen Suckling had kept the red colour. It is so much better than that Mag and Turbo colour. The Mag and Turbo colours look like somebody tried to make a race car look only using swimming pool paint. :?
