Why haven't American manufacturers come up with an all wheel drive offering to some of these muscle cars that would better utilize all of that power? I see American sport utility vehicles with AWD the are insanely fast. Why not the cars?

I have a 2016 Ford Escape 2.0 Ltr AWD. It's 280 Hp a little less torque - maybe 260. Compared to my 01 Marquis 4.6 Ltr with 230 or 240 Hp, it's a race car. The Escape is 400 - 600 lb lighter. There is absolutely no perceptible turbo lag. Full torque pretty much any rpm at the touch of the throttle. It has never spun a tire. It just goes, any direction you point it to.
I agree these SUVs are impressive, in their own right, but no where near the power of what we are talking.
