Well some people enjoy the challenge, some do it just to prove they can, others might not have a choice, and some others are simply clueless when it comes to selecting the proper tool for a job. I see making a fwd performance car in much the same light. But what ever the reason, that does not change the fact that it is a severe handicap.
That car looks to be roughly comparable to a prostock drag car, in terms of work done to it. Prostock's run about 1s quicker. And if thats a Honda, this is a Pontiac:

Again, I'm not arguing its inferiority, like you continue to do. I'm just stating it's stupid to disregard their achievements just because there is something better out there. No matter why a person chooses to make a FWD vehicle, it still has shown it's a capable performer.
