A couple of you guys already beat me to this, sort of; even disconnecting the front drive altogether, you're not gonna save much, if anything. The parasitic drag of all those parts still spinning ,and couple of hundred pounds of dead weight involved in those pieces, is gonna pretty much erase any gains. Not to mention the huge handling hit you're gonna take, all that weight up front, is gonna make this sled "push" pretty good. Understeer will rule the day if you get on it at all.Buy a Civic to bop around in, better yet, a diesel VW...they run very cheaply
