I wouldnt say over 300 is pointless, yes it spins more and harder on traction but it would still run faster than a car a 200 plus hp.. let say if a 400 hp tc rans just as fast as a 295hp tc then I would say its pointless..

No matter how much power you're making, you're still being driven by the wrong wheels. Front wheel drive fails.

It's the lack of an appropriate LSD that kills high-power FWD cars more than anything. That 300HP ceiling moves up a bit once you get a good LSD and some sticky street tires or R-comps on.

.. building and running a true FWD track car actually takes skills though.. anyone can dump money in a RWD car and make a monster on the track...

mcdonalds
starbucks
office max
wal mart
kuru kuru sushi
kozo sushi (JDM)

and a few nameless ones just like obamas contributors.

Can't we just live and let live?

Who cares what's "worth it" or not? Well, you do, of course. But the definition of worth varies from person to person. Although I agree, I'm sick of hearing how FWD cars aren't worth the money. That ____ promotes stagnation in forums.

And as for "enthusiasts," well, I think we should be focusing on what the enthusiast does rather than what he or she does it to.
