With enough work, just about anything is possible. If I trained day in, day out, over the course of months, I could probably do a marathon. But being stuck with a broad frame, short limbs, and heavy build it will take a lot more effort than someone tall and lithe. But I guarantee you that could crush those beanpoles if we were playing rugby. Its a matter of sticking to what you're good at. I'm not good for distance running, fwd isn't good for performance.

I still want to learn more about that 7s fwd Honda, btw.
Contradictory. Again, we all know that RWD is superior to FWD. However, my argument is not with that, it's the notion that FWD performance is worthless. Anything, IMO, that can beat similarly priced vehicles with having an inferior, outdated concept is nothing to disregard.
