I agree with everything you said. I have my Z34, so if a FWD comes out that's going to destroy next gen RWD's in a certain price range? Why not. That's just something I wouldn't do without an RWD in my garage.

That said, IMHO the FRS isn't enough car not to consider FWD. Now a FWD car in my Z's world. I'd laugh at a FWD that matched my cars price & specs. But a 250hp/$25k FWD... Why not? An FWD with more than 300hp, is useless and unnecessary imho unless you like drag racing FWD.

MR Megane? AWESOME IDEA!!!
