At a large race here, I quallied last in the A with a rwd m06. The Fwds were faster. A friend of mine couldn't be bothered running his fwd, so I grabbed his car (even tho it was the pink m05 chassis lol), stripped it down to the bare chassis (I didn't split the halves, I just took all suspension of it), then put all my M06 suspension/tires/elecs/body on it, but with my old M05 shocks (shock lengths are different for the 06 and 05). I built it the morning of the last qually and the finals. In the last qually, I moved up to the 2nd spot, made one more setup change and then won the final.
Was that the race where i did the dumb move of trying the Top Gun maneuver on the start tone and it backfired on me and then i broke cause i got nailed by 5 cars before the first corner? What a rookie.
