A crazily modified drag car doesn't make for a good argument about drive config. Its a product of ambition and the desire to be different more than an accomplishment for the vehicle. It comes down to one of favourite sayings: 'just because you can, doesn't mean you should'.
No matter what is done to a FWD car, you can't change the fact that under acceleration, weight gets transfered off the driving wheels. And outside of straight line acceleration, you are steering with the drive wheels. There is only so much grip available. Couple that with weight transfer and high powered FWD cars have serious problems on a road course.
