And your statement, is just a very broad statement, bcs I can say that 100% of the people that I've seen race, and been involved in, have been roll races, mainly on the highway. That includes every platform. Even RWD vs. RWD, and not simply to favor FWD platform

Either way, this is a pointless argument.
Thats probably because in NYC you don't have anywhere to perform Dig races besides the track. The streets are so overcrouded haha. Plus it would be a PITA to launch a 375WHP TL on the streets since its FWD. Most of my races are from a dig. The accord has seen many launches. We have plenty of empty desert for dig races here.

i'll share a few experiences. from a dig (more than likely driver error), i've pulled on a particular rx-8 before consistently - i'd give about 3 car lengths worth. on a roll however, (different, obviously experienced driver), i didn't pull away or get pulled on. dead even, if my memory serves me correctly. if you're speeds range a good amount, there's a greater chance you'll out pull an rx-8. roll races that last...10 mph (say 60-70), you won't really see much smashing.
