That is not true. There are a TON of fast FWD cars out there. It just takes more money and skill to make them as fast in the 1/4 mile as AWD cars.

Your average Joe is incapable of making a truely competative FWD car. I am fully aware of FWD and it's merits but there is a reason AWD is the way to go. How fast do you think your TSi would be with the same amount of money/time/effort put into it if it were FWD.

Most FWDers give up at low 13's and few make cracks at 12's and lower especially when those numbers are easily achievable with the back wheels pushing you forward. Hehe. Nothing wrong with pulling your car into the 12's and beyond but it takes alot more out of you.

EDIT: I guess I should include that DSMers no matter the drivetrain layout are a bit more "hardcore", if you will, than your average enthusiast and should not be associated with 100% of the enthusiast stereotypes. Heh.
