Don't know why folks hate on FWD but get hard for AWD when it comes to performance. I've been on track with a number of AWD vehicles and they all perform on track identically to FWD cars, some even worse. Understeer on entry, understeer on exit. Meanwhile extra HP is lost to that additional drivetrain.

Ripping through the snow with a ski-rack on top, now that's a different story but on a race track I'd rather have FWD or RWD over AWD.
