Scott,
Great work on a "different" combination. Although I've been an American Muscle car fan all my life it's cool to see new technology and other manufacturers in the sport of drag racing. Good luck with it.

Having been a FWD racer for almost 20 years, I salute you and your dad Scott! Even though I have gone over to the dark side again (H/SA Plymouth) I still have my A/FS SRT Neon. Even the most die hard RWD advocate will have to give props to your engineering and performance! Way to be different Scott! JIm

Believe it or not Troy it is actually a dream to drive. All of my experience leading up to the partnership with Toyota was in rear drive cars. As you all know the rear end is always trying to get around the front end especially on loose tracks. In the front drive application, it goes where you point it and when it loses traction you lose E.T. but it still goes straight!
