"A Civic would never be an M3, it's nose heavy":
BMW M2 Competition (F87): 7:52.36 @ Nürburgring Nordschleife
Honda Civic Type R: 7:39.691 @ Nürburgring Nordschleife (Current FWD car record holder. 7:44.881 on the 20,832 m lap)
Lastly, this is the fake badges thread. If a car doesn't come with them from factory, putting badges in the car makes it fake. Whether you believe they are more deserving of the badge or not. It's an optional attendance thread.

Rather than get upset and create scenarios that you think constitute an argument against basic physics, just accept reality and move on. Then there won't be a need to discuss further.
Reality: A RWD or rear-biased AWD chassis that has a low COG, polar moment, and good weight distribution will always be better in road applications than a chassis that does not have those things or fewer of those things.
You can tinker with the suspension kinematics and geometry, but some qualities cannot be engineered out.
