I know all this,,, my only point was wheel spin does not make you move, though it does have to happen to make you move quick,, but that wasn't what was in debate....
Now as far as 8sec FWD cars, go look at the meguair's focus and the guy running the pro srt4. Both run 8sec times and I've heard they're running 7sec now.
There are ways to get traction with FWD, wheelie bars can help keep the front loaded on FWD cars, among other things.
