Fook I didnt realise they had that much power.

Surely far to much for a FWD car???

in a straight line doesnt make a huge amount of diffrence, still better than 4WD bogging down off the line. no indersheet to worry about on a srag strip. aslong as you can put the power down thats all that matters, and in a FWD and front engined car most of the weight is over the front wheels giving them good traction, is you had a light stripped oor RWD car with a front engine, EG. BMW it would be harder to put the power down as less weight over the back wheels.

It is however possiable that im talking bolocks cus i have no idea just trying to apply some common sense to the idea

I can assure you fella that a 1000bhp AWD car will probably get the power down better than a FWD one

The weight transfer is what causes the issue.

I'm guessing the colder air temps are helping with the times? Possibly December when its in the minus's you might be looking at even quicker?
