FWD vs RWD: Adders, Subtractors, and Weight, Oh my...!

[Greg Amy]

If the current subtractor is so far off how is the you currently hold at least 3 track records?

Because ITA is dominated by FWD cars, and the Nissan NX2000 made nearly 160 horsepower...so I held a significant advantage in horsepower.

Compare that to ITS (and to ITR, the two primary classes I'm discussing) where the FWD competitors are very much outnumbered, hold no horsepower advantage(s), and hold virtually insignificant weight advantages.

So, it should come as no surprise that when compared to other FWD cars, having a power advantage is a good thing. And, when possessing power numbers pretty much the same as your RWD competitors, FWD is a disadvantage.

Thanks for the opportunity to clarify. Next?
