If RWD is so good in any case then why does my friends GTO burn in 3rd at 65 making only 375rwhp? Why does my other friend making 410rwhp with his CTS-V only run 12.01? They're RWD, they squat like crazy, why don't they hook? Hell, there's a local MR2 making 250rwhp and he can't hook either.
A 400whp civic is low 11's with a full interior and street tires. 300whp is a 12 second 3g Eclipse on street tires (no I'm not misreferencing Rob), a 400whp 3g Eclipse ran 11's on street tires, both had full interiors. 3sx's T2 ran 10.8 on a street suspension setup. What do all the cars I mentioned have in common? A little effort was put into more then just the motor and into their launches. What do all the drivers of your tire burners have in common? They didn't put the effort into it, they're too lazy.
Its a takes a set of coilovers and wider tires to hook second in a bone stock GTO. It takes a set of slicks to make that CTS-V hook. Both of the cars I mentioned had 5k+ into them. Tell me why a 2g GST with 175k on the clock, half the car's worth in stereo equipment in back and a bolted up HX40 ran 11.1 all night at the track and got 29mpg on the ride home. Go buy your 350z and find out that it doesn't magically hook, or save you any money in gas and tires. It doesn't magically corner either. Spend some time looking and you'll find a surprising number of 3g's tearing up the road courses and Autox all over the country. Most of them don't waste their time entertaining the likes you and the other haters on this website and the ones who do have provided video footage of a bolted up 3 liters shitting on Z06 corvette's and 500awhp Evo's in our member's rides sections. The best part is they've spent less money on their cars then their competition.
Essentially all factory cars squat, and the only one it doesn't automatically write off your list is something AWD and that's only because those AWD cars come with the extra electronics and such to make them hook and go instead of bogging out. I don't know what you and the rest of you belly achers have against partial throttle. Even at that point, electronic boost control/boost buy gear or a preload launch sequence. The funnest pull I've EVER been a part of was hooking first gear registering only 75% TPS on my logger.
RWD drag cars don't squat either, they set. The builders known exactly how far its going to drop and set the alignment accordingly, you can't do that on a DD or you'll be buying tires all the time so your 350z will still need a stiff ass rear end and thousands in upgrade control arms to make your alignment last. The only people who have it good are are those with a solid rear axle and even they run torque bars and slicks for a drag setup and they won't bother coming to the road course, let alone being overweight prehistoric shit boxes that run automatic drag trannies and get 6mpg. Know what works best on a FWD car? Pretty much zeroed out alignment, perfect for a DD. And what do you know, stiffer rear end is what you're looking at for both a road course and drag strip. Its not the fault of the 3g that our factory bushings aren't worth a damn, its mitsu for putting them in there. The 3g has some fantastic suspension geometry, put some Prothanes in, turn a wrench for god forbid and you'll have less reason to whine.
What it comes down to is what its worth to you. Yeah you gotta drop the FLCA's to do the prothanes, yeah the bushings cost 55$ shipped to your door, and yeah BMW and Nissan owners have to disassemble the rear end to put in aftermarket bushings just so the car will hold alignment in daily conditions let alone on the track and spend thousands of dollars to do it.
Sky here is clearly more mechanically inclined then anyone here bitching about not hooking up. And even if he was it would only be because his suspension and setup hasn't developed that far into it yet.
