CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - HP Rating....F Body vs FWD Conversion Cars

Ed Wright · 11-24-2010, 12:44 PM

Most don't realize how nose heavy most of the fwd conversions are. It was pointed out to me that my ('96 F body) drive shaft is shorter than Pete Peery's little short Cutlass Calai's shaft. Mine is a pain to work on since arthritis has set in. Half the stinking engine is under the stinking windshield.

I don't run GT, but the newest GT cars... well I'm not going there.

the biggest advntage I see is a 2500 or so lb car with a smaller engine versus a 3000 lb car with a bigger engine. Small car/smaller engine usually wins.
