I was going to say how I hate FWD drag racing. I can not stand it and I don't see it as safe (I'm talking about the fastest ones, whatever their equivalent to NHRA prostock or Rails/Funny cars if they have nitro methane cars).
However road racing no problem against them except like Simon said you can't get the ass out. I would rather have the adrenaline rush of spinning out instead of under steering into a wall.
Not to burst your bubble but the GT's have a live axle and blow at handling, more or less good overtake.. ha
