Hmm....the more the number of Pros move up the the RWD platform, the more room there are for us "FWD" guys to get in on the action. There's still room for a tube chassis FWD Honda car...

He is not selling out. Maybe if he went the domestic way, then yes.
Steph Papadakis is my favorite racer and with his new car, I give him more respect.

Re: Papadakis' new car! (dohcsideSi)
Yes he sold out sort of. Hondas are supposed to be FRONT WHEEL DRIVE! His roots are in a FWD not rwd. A front wheel drive car is what made him famous and even thougn he will be running his old car I'm sure it wil be phased out. From an engineering standpoint I wouldn't say this new car is an innovation. More like a sign he's giuven up and doesn't think he can make a front drive any faster. Yah right- Just like they said top fuel cars would never hit 300MPH or surpass 1G in acceleration. I am not a fan as much any more after seeing this car. Cool car but I'd sooner like to see pap change his name and race it than change platforms to RWD.
