LOL, this thread is too much

Forget "torque" or "hp" , they don't explain much at all and they are directly related to one another - so they both 'win races'. Instead, ponder "area under the curve" and "gearing".

AWD better for hole shots. Look at 911 Turbo S, GTR, Aventador. Agreed ... the AWD system does add weight, but were talking initial launch. OP: you need to install a state of the art twin -clutch transmission ... then you could beat those other cars. Maybe.

And then I say - "most of the fastest cars in the world are still RWD" and I get shit for it.

Well in this case he's been proved wrong several times yet he keeps badgering people l. I've drag raced for many years and currently have one of the quickest cars on this platform so my experience isn't in question, his is.

That's not a supra, that's a 2jz in a tube chassis with supra headlight stickers and a Toyota badge.
