Sure FWD can be made fast, but it just doesnt make sense to me.

Acceleration shifts weight to the rear wheels - might as well use it and give the rear wheels something useful to do instead of letting the fronts do all the work.
You wouldn't throw in 6 pistons 14" rotors in the back with 13.5" 4 pots in the front!

Also, its so much easier to have a decently balanced RWD car instead of having all the weight up on the front axle. It'd take a miracle of engineering to make a fwd car not inherently under-steer. And you'd have to pay big bucks too - Civic Type R?

With the typical small fwd car that's nose-heavy, the car will even come around if you brake hard under light cornering loads. The front is so heavy that braking puts the car's center of mass incredibly close to the front axle.
