I would not say that its all about chassis setup
Can only fight weight transfer to the rear of the chassis so much on launch which is why rwd shines here. FWD has physics against it when it comes to launching which arguably is where the QM is won or lost (the first 60 ft).

I agree with you here but most are not great drivers so sometimes the car needs to do the work.

Like I said on DFWGMElite, depends on your goals and what you plan on using the car for.

i already voted and posted.Its a simple equation but the turbo vs s/c debate has been realised and proven without question. So forget s/c for pure power no doubt.

Personally I will never change from the TVS but I dont race dyno's and the big number cars at the road race track croak qwik. From my point of view, I am guessing that a 1320 on 2.9 is the best combo realistically and a 1900 would be just a jerk off.

Turbo on the other hand, well most recently, ARM proved what can be done relatively easily on a bone stock tired bottom end with an LSJ t. Good for him.
