the dragsters use wheelie bars to keep them from losing traction

What the heck are you talking about? The reason why dragsters have wheelie bars is that they have So much torque when the big slicks grab the car would could basically flip its self over basically ALL the cars weight is over the back 2 tires. The FWD dragsters use em because they dont have the ability to shift the weigh to the rear to keep traction so it basiclly makes a longer wheel base for more weight to balance over the front end. If you watch a RWD car launch off the line the car will squat on the rear tires giving it better grip, on a FWD the tire just spin causing no traction and a small chirp is heard.

That, and the engine is meticulously balanced right where it'll allow for the most downward force on the front wheels. That's the point of FWD anyway.

The point and reason of a FWD car was most people cannot drive in rainy or snowy condidtions and that they thought by placing the weight over the front tires it would help the dummies out. I have drivin FWD in the snow and would take a RWD anyday of the week since I can add as much weight to the back end a s possible, and I know how to drive. Besdes ALL supercar or highperformance cars are RWD or midrear engine RWD why would that be? O yea RWD is better for performance cars the list, Corvette, GT40, Ferraris(sp), Porsch, Supra, Skyline r33, BMW's, Mr2, S2000, Lambo, Eris, Super 7, Camaro/firebird, GN, Mustang, Viper, nascar Even the V-8 super cars take a stock FWD and make it into a RWD.
