Ya a AWD can out launch a stock Mustang on street tires. No arguments there, but how car do you think the AWD would stay in front? Not a whole 1/4 mile. If you are talking about a street race from one light to another, then the AWD will have the stang hands down! Thats not what it's all about tho. You gotta be able to beat them on top end too.

One of the most fun I ever had was taking my Talon (with barly any cost in mods) out and taking out a Z28 on top end. I needed FWD to do this. Had it been AWD, it would have been walked on badly. However, it took me till the middle of 3rd to catch up to the Z28 after take off. FWD sucks that bad sad.gif It takes alot more for AWD to out pull a v8 on top end.

AWD is fun tho.

I'll never forget the time I beat a TT 300Z from 0-70-75. Only mods where a k&N, MBC, gages, and fuel pump wire upgrade and 15psi. This is on a GVR4 too. I smoked the Z and my clutch comming off the line, however that Z had midnight snacks on my ass all night long. We knew the guy driving and so it was all good smile.gif We also set up the race on a back road, so it was a drag race. On the HWY, this Z would let me get to about 115 and blow past me like I was standing still. Thinking about it makes me almost want to go buy a TT Z, but it was stock and still hauled ass. Anyway, the point is that AWD might get you out of the box, but that don't mean you are faster at all. Clearly a TT Z is much faster and has much more HP then a barly modded GVR4. However for about 6 or 7 seconds, my car looked really good.
