I've seen some guy's video of his Spirit FF in action and while it spun the fronts and sprayed dirt & gravel everywhere, it didn't really GET anywhere very efficiently.

I would assume an onroad FWD chassis would be at least a bit more effective but perhaps not enough to make it compelling performance-wise.
The chassis he posted is front motor, but all wheel drive, not front wheel drive.

No. Pink is the Sakura Zero color.

However, some cars make that an easy task and some cars will make that a difficult one. If you're new to the hobby its best you work with a local hobby shop that can help you get started.
Yep, you could race a 2x4 with bottle caps for wheels, if they allowed it, but you aren't going to do very well with it.
