Sure do... I just wonder if going to the k24/k18 hybrids (probable next mod) will make the car too much to handle with the RWD...

of course.. that was planned 4 months ago.
I really have to because of the fuel system that will be in place. Ill be running 2 high flow pumps parallel sucking from each sponson. and they will be placed underneath where the front diff/axle goes... but thats not the only reason...

going RWD:
Pros:
Less rotating mass
Less inertia
Less weight
Better acceleration
Car feels nimbler without the extra weight.

Cons:
Less traction in sub-optimal conditions where the coefficient of
friction between the tires/road are bad, rain, snow, mud, rocks, crappy
tires...

I did the conversion by trading in my Turbo and getting a GT2, and I can tell you without a doubt that the fuel consumption has improved in the GT2.

All the shafts and diffs really suck up power. And since the engine has less weight to push, it is also a contributing factor.

Put it another way, I find myself not having to give the car as much gas as I did in the Turbo to get it to the same speed. The less gas consumption was also a good selling point to my wife. That and the stiffer grabbier clutch on the GT2.

Remember that the Turbo has an open diff while the GT2 has a real diff. I would seriously think about doing that if I had converted my Turbo to RWD.
