I think what Dave means is that he can swap final drive ratios much more easily with RWD and with many more options. S-10's probably had 3 or 4 different final drive ratios from the factory and I believe all sorts of trannys will work in it from bigger GM trucks. Compared to a 98 Cavalier, I think all you can really do is just swap trannys, I don't think you can easily change the final drive unless that tranny had another drive ratio as a factory option.
The honda world is a bit different with importing stuff from japan and lots of aftermarket support but not many other front drivers have that level of interest.
I was surprised to read here that people had been able to change just the 5th ratio in a transmission in a few different cars, maybe this is possible in more fwd cars than I think but I imagine most people would rather swap transmissions vs opening them up.
