Fwd chassis versus RWD Et

Slightly off topic,

the last fast bracket car I build was a 1990 Firebird. It was an excellent platform, easy to work on, very very consistent.

When I began the GT project I strongly considered using another 1990 Firebird and I think it would be a good package. Then became interested in the S-10 platform and went that direction.

I still have thoughts of another 3rd gen Firebird before I retire or die. In my experience with 100" wheel base, strut front and easy access to engine it is a valid choice for several combinations including GT. It would also be a good IHRA Crate Motor platform.
