Don't get me wrong. I said this is Grant's reasoning on why AWD rules, not mine. I have experienced both AWD and FWD now. I take a completely objective point of view on it. And after beating a light turbocharged Integra from a 50 mph roll Saturday night, I feel I can safely say that AWD pulls from a roll nearly as well as a FWD, it just doesn't have as much gear so you have to shift sooner. The last thing I want to do is concede anything on my fast FWD. But, AWD can be lightened and top speed 5th gear can be changed. Getting a FWD to get AWD-type traction off the line on the street is somewhat harder if not impossible.
