In the end however the ability to put down power in a FWD car while less hairy than a RWD car is still not in the same ballpark as a good AWD car.

I can understand why you made your choice and from the looks of your car it is going to be a true beast with very high limits once you get the feel for it and the bugs ironed out. There is a huge body of knowledge about the chassis your driving and highly developed parts everywhere. No downside at all.

If you want to come visit however we can go drive some backroads and we can see what sort of tradeoffs you have made to get to where you are.
