AWD is traction 2x when you need it.

I have experienced a 7500 rpm launch in a moderately upgraded AWD Eclipse. Leaves the line hard and gets up to speed quickly. Personally, I would not want to race a modified AWD turbo car from a stoplight or 1/4 mile for pink slips; especially when using a standard IRS Cobra that is really not optimum for traction or straight line drag racing. Maybe from a 10-15mph roll though or with a nice 9"/4-link setup and slicks at a strip. An AWD V8 replica Cobra with modern tire technology would be an interesting and cool comparison. Hopefully the Aussie guy will report on the results and stats. Hmmmm.
