You guys are really comparing apples and oranges.
If I could choose between a noth and 10k and a civic and 10k, nobody would choose the civic. Not even a ricer. It takes ALOT more $$ and some skill to properly tune a FWD car to be fast in a 1/4 mile!
Comparing FWD and RWD 1/4mi times is not a fair comparison.
My nothc probably ran a mid-high 14 maybe low 15 stock. But with some ported stock heads with bigger valves, and intake and carb, and 4.10 gears and locker, it ran mid 12's all day in street trim. Now lets compare that to my friends 400+hp saturn. It would put car lengths on me in a highway run from 30mph but from a stop, I could beat it 9 out of 10 times. FWD and RWD are 2 totally different monsters.
And BTW, n2o is for cheaters!
There is no real skill in that. You can put a 75-100 shot on most cars with some colder plugs and be fine. There's not skill in that.
