i know its usually a struggle.
tbh i never usually do more than about 10 runs or so. i am usually out at crail with a big crowd of mates so dont want to spend all day on the strip. that and the fact that i live in crail and can go when ever i want.lol

i can get 40-50 at my local one, just the surface isnt the best. going to be quite interesting if this new one up near glasgow opens up. proper purpose built strip.

I think that run alone shows that FWD with big power can be launched quickly, epic!

I would say it was more down to the Porsche not getting a good launch that gives off the impression that FWD can be launched quickly. Not saying it can't, but street legal, big power FWD cars will never be regarded as quick cars off the mark imo, well not compared to 4wd but thats obvious.
The likes of this video shows that........Even if he does reel it in and destroy it.

Not dissing Nic's car, as its probably 1 of the quickest/fastest Corsa's on the planet.

i also missed a gear in the porsche clip. missed 4th. will never get proper amazing launches as i only run 205 50 15's anyway. no launch control or traction control. best 60ft i ever got was 1.89 at york. aint bad for fwd. its not a set up drag car at all. its a road car still.
