Fwd 3rd gen 3sgte swaps, 0-100km/h, 400m, 1600m time ? Options

[quick_5hifter]

This year I'm doing the 3sgte swap for sure, I'm already saving money for it. The problem is:
-as far as I've read on 6gc forums, nobody has done the st205 tranny swap (for AWD/4wd); weight would be about the same as a gt4, so why bother swap instead of buying the gt4?
-242 hp on the front wheels seem like too much power for FWD; nobody here has ever shown results of a fwd 3rd gen 3sgte swapped Celica, so I think that, despite the ~200 kg "earned" by eliminating AWD, performances are not better than the original ST205.

So, is there any way of using the 3sgte gearbox on rear wheels transmission and cancel the front wheels transmission?
(this probably is a stupid noob question, maybe someone else already asked that question before, but I just couldn't find any answers about it).

Like I said in my previous reply, I would like to change the title to "fwd 4rd gen 3sgte 0-100km/h acceleration". Perhaps someone can help me with that.

RWD 3sgte really was a dumb idea, starting with the fact that it would have the weight of an ST 205, while performance would probably be worse.
If a rwd 6gc could be done, than my mechanic could do it too, with no further detalis required. The problem is that I don't have an ST205 tranny to show him, that's why I asked the dumb question in the first place. I don't have the required knowledge to figure it out myself and I didn't make plans to learn everything about transmissions, just to figure out by myself that a rwd st205 tranny isn't possible or, if it is possible, it's not worth the efforts and expenses. Plus, as I've used the search function before creating this thread, there was no other discussion regarding this subject (making a rwd st205 tranny), only discussions about replacing the st20* gearbox to a rwd tranny, swapping the t20 engine to a 1jz/2jz from Supras, with the rwd 5/6 speed tranny and others... nothing about rwd 3sgte with st205 tranny.

It's like some of you guys, owners of CF hoods & stuff, would have to learn everything about CF, including history, chemistry, types of resins etc., just to buy a CF hood... NO, that's not the way to do it, you just ask about weight, durability etc., then buy and install your god damn hood. Or it's like someone looking to buy a decent car stereo would have to learn everything about transistors, resistors, soldering etc. Again, you don't have to do this, you just check out the factory provided specs, see if they fit your taste, than buy the stereo or not. Same goes here: before going further with the rwd dumb idea, I thought it would be better to ask here first, then do research if required. Actually, that was my first dumb idea, to ask this question here.

Forget about the rwd idea, let's move on to the other question: does anyone have info about fwd 3rd gen 3sgte Celicas, like 0-100 km/h time, 400m time, 1600m time, top speed etc.?
