Ok everybody, we're not talking about purpose built drag cars, F1 cars, or any kind of race car. We're talking about modified street cars with no where near enough power to cause a complete transfer of weight from the front wheels, especially if the suspension is stiff. AWD street cars in general are able to put power down better, but also harder to launch smoothly. There are lots of factors on how AWD and RWD cars launch effectively - the suspension & diff in the FRS/BRZ are not optimized for drag racing. In the end, stories like this usually come down to driver skill, especially with launching. If you want to compare outright power and engine flexibility, do 3rd gear roll, and see how well your 320whp FRS goes.
