Well you can. You just probably won't be getting much traction on the street, but then again, 520hp in most light weight cars will have a problem. I'm in the 300's, and I have problems in my 86, but yeah, AWD could be nice then,

The other thing was the K20C1 engine is pretty bad ass, but the RS engine was known for head gasket problems, among others, which probably hurt some sales.
