Not to mention the increase in price from making it AWD.

MSRP for a GT350R is 62k. Add AWD and a bunch of lightweight materials to get the weight to stay the same, and we're looking at an MSRP of over 70k easily; probably closer to 80k. No thanks.
Kind of contradicting yourself. AWD is definitely possible,but you might be right that it might be better for this platform.

And forgive me if I'm assuming too much,but you make it sound like you can afford the $62k but not $70K~$80K?

anyway,at a higher price,the car still might be worth it.
