I guess the idea with fwd is to put as much weight as you can on the front wheels. This happens with rwd and the driveshaft/u-joint just breaks, doesn't put your chin off the steering wheel.

When I see that vid reminds me of a new event FWD wheelie competitions anyone? I would pay to see a bunch of fwd imports blow a motor to see em do that

that video is priceless. i dunno but for some reason i think you'll have a lot of trouble going 2-1 at high rpm WOT. theres no way a synchro can match those speeds. straight cut gears only i would think.
