Ok I have to refer back to gearing awd roughly has 4.10 gears stock.The 300lbs sucks,but being geared lower helps accelerate faster. Plus in 500 hp awd, vs 500 hp fwd on a street race from a roll. Both punch it fwd is going to spin those tires and awd start pulling away, at some point FWD will pass it but gearing comes in, assuming fwd got speed limiter cut out. Anytime you punch it, the weigh wants to goto the rear. Ill agree its WWD. It was put in many cars because its easier for inexperienced driver to handle. I got video of my brother lighting up all 4 tires on a 7 psi awd launch, he didn't hook up till part of 2nd gear. He is about 400 hp ish. As for AWD being stupid easy to drive, I doubt it, Yea you can get better 60s than most fwd, rwd (street tire cars), but cutting the low times is hard, i let 4 people drag my car 2.1,2.2,2.0, even 1.9, I get back in my car 1.7-1.6s. The way to go is RWD. Again our cars were main for rally. At least 1Gs, don't know many 2G rally cars. Also as far as drag goes, fwd can do well only with slicks, look at glazer he does cold launches, does same 60s I do, and rest of good street racers do. Slicks make world of difference, do a burnout and you get those tires up to 110 degrees or more and you are off. I was getting owned one day by a bolt on auto LS1, stall, intake,headers,exhaust, with slicks pulling 1.5s the whole time. I run slightly faster traps speeds than slightly modded ones on pump gas.

look at the 2 rwds, compared to awd race cars, and awd street cars,even 60's of fwd cars etc
I am going to buy another 1G beater raise it 4" with rally shocks, 15" wheels, with dirt tires and go have a blast in desert I live in..
