Anybody can drive an AWD.The real skill is getting the power down the track.AWD suffers after the launch where the rwd catchs up.

stock for stock i can see them being close, evo's have a pretty bad top end it's like the fall flat on their faces after 100.. but with a turbo back and software it should be no contest.
