Dick What makes you think some FWD racres haven't put a lot of effort into parts.
I had a torque converter built that had the same guts in it as a SS street hemi car would run made 3 passes with it and it didn't feel right. Sent it back , and was asked if I neutral dropped the car? It was destroyed inside. .
That was with a FWD stocker. Nothing wrong with the converter builder. A large percentage of class cars use the same. They eventually built one that lasted for years on my car.
What you guys are proposing is the same as running a bone stock 69 427 camaro against a present day 69 427 camaro stocker.
We do not have the 50+ years of development that the rwd cars have. And the only way the fwd cars could catchup would be to freeze rwd devolpment for years. And that ain't giong to happen.
One point you guys seem to miss is that the fwd cars use a lot more seat of the pants personal innovation than the rwd cookie cutter cars
Some mopar guys can't stand chevies or fords but do the preach doing away with them.
If doing away with fwd is what you want I think you are about 75 years to late and on the wrong continent
