I have to disagree with Konkeler, N/A PT's can be pretty quick, you just have to know how to drive. Anyone can mash the gas on a 427 and roast the tires. It takes a good driver though to make a Plain-Jane 4 cylinder launch off a line and beat someone with a much bigger engine.
Wrong. A faster more powerful car, espicially with RWD, is so much harder to control then a slow FWD car. I've driven both, I know. When you're cranking out over 400hp, with a Manaul Tranny, you have to know how to shift right, how much gas to give it, etc. With all that extra power, it's easy to get caried away, loose traction, and crash.

It doesn't take a good driver to mash down the gas on a 150hp FWD Auotmatic car, almost anybody can do it.

Remember I drive the same car as you. Then I've driven alot of other differnt kinds of vechiles. Big Conversion Vans, that Vette, my friend's 94 Z-28, my Malibu, a Antique Dump Truck, a John Deere Back-Hoe, etc. (many more)
