I almost went the Ecotec /stick route myself..They are everywhere.. Then I found the Escort , thankfully..I really didn't want to go that fast in the eliminator ;-)

We're going in circles now ..Still want to see the evidence that automatic FWD's are more consistent.

Oh yeah...I agree. I don't think there's any real usable data that'll show a FWD is more consistent than your average stocker...I think the most consistent cars in stock are going to be in the 10.50-12.00 range (slow enough that spin isn't a major concern, quick enough that wind and weather don't affect them quite as much)
Perhaps if you compare to the other 14.00 and slower stockers, you could make that case for FWD vs RWD in that context.
I know for sure that my Ranger is FAR from "consistent" most of the time...but it is at least fairly predictable for the most part.
