I agree, it should have been 4wd. However lets be honest here, for 90% of drivers, they would be able to get much better performance out of a FWD car than a RWD car.
I may be letting myself in for some flaming, but on a recent track day (which was wet i have to add) i was probably one of the slowest drivers there. All but 2 cars were FWD or 4WD. For the average driver, they're going to struggle to get the most out of a RWD car. On the road too... having to slow down at roundabouts while crappy CTR's can floor it round them without even a second thought about it...
