Well, they DID sell an awful lot of them as FWD "Sports" cars. Back then, "Technology" and "Front wheel drive" were huge buzz words and made the Mustang and Camaro look like horse & buggy in comparison.
Mustang and Camaro were still running carburetors whilst the Daytona/Laser had Turbochargers and Throttle Body injection, and then later Multi Port Injection.

Revisionist history? The Mustang SVO featured a Turbocharged and Injected 2.3 making 175 HP in 1984, the same year the Daytona was launched. Even the 3rd Gen Camaro had TBI as an option when it came out in 1982.
