yeah, you really can't compare a turbine indy car to a mass-production sports coupe. i imagine AWD was something of a band-aid to try to get all that torque to the ground on the era's tires (on the lotus 56).
my view on AWD is that it's good for bad weather, and for point-and-shoot type cars. less driver skill is involved. not saying "none," but definitely less skill involved than with other setups. the GTR is a prime example of this. when reviewed by a driving instructor, he described it as "not a driver's car. no skill involved. any mistakes were covered up by the computers."
