wow, impressive
and it's fwd, that's what he said....look closer at the tires, the front ones are spinning, just so much smoke it looks like all four

that's also why he couldn't get grip....fwd, spins all the way down the track
that's sweet tho...

 

wow! u guys are right! but i doubt its an i4... it just doesn't make much sense... but it could...and looks as a fwd

 

ok, now ive actually played the vid w/ audio, and u guys are right, its an awd, 2.2, angine producing 1350hp... that's just crazy...

 

it appears to be fwd, but why is there a wheelie bar on the back?

 

That's one reason I was thinking the announcer said "four wheel drive" however I do admit the front tires seem to be producing all the smoke, but watch it closely. I could have sworn those rear tires were spinning too.

 

If it were awd, they'd want about 65% of the power on the rear wheels for max acceleration. I think it's front and the real wheels are sucking in smoke from the fronts just from moving.

 

The wheelie bar is to help it get the down track. It's just as beneficial on a FWD car as it is for a RWD car.

 

im soooooo confused :S

 

How? a RWD can do a wheelie, a FWD can't.

 

The wheelie bar keeps the front wheels down, allowing them to get more traction. The front of the car is going to try to rise up, regardless if it is fwd or rwd. I know a fwd won't wheelie, but the wheels will rise a little due to the acceleration forward (the car rocks back) causing them to lose traction.
Come on Falkore! You're an engineer! You know this!
