FWD is not physically challenged when compared to RWD. Turbo charged manuals will have to produce more peak power than the normally aspirated manual transmission. But a automatic transmission with a turbo is the ticket for the drag strip. Look at the Grand Nationals for an example.
I am not worried about LS1's on the highway. The 400hp M5 is faster than a '01 (350hp and 375 trq) C5 Corvette from 100-150 MPH. I was even with an M5 for most of an impromptu 100-130 MPH from where I started to gain on him when the highway split. Had the race gone on longer I would have loved to see his face. I usually do not race on city streets as most people don't know how to drive to begin with.
