RWD is more fun. Around a track nothing beats RWD. Silvias usually beat GTRs on the track with same horsepower.

The AWD in the G35X and FX35 uses the same system as in the FX45 and the FX45 does have 310lbft of torque so I would put some money down that it's capable of handling a good decent amount of power. Plus there are some ATI Procharged FX35s out there that put out 280HP at the wheels (AWD).
It is however, an electronically controlled unit and may have issues if the AWD was constantly running. The manual does give warnings about overheating the AWD in which case the system will shut down and revert to RWD bias.
The AWD system is 50-50 split during starting acceleration as well. The weight is the biggest issue.

wrong, the coupe, sedan and 350z all share the same chassis. The g35's are just stretched like stated in the above posts. Almost everything is interchangable chassis/drivetrain wise on all 3 vehicles. Sways, brakes, transmission, gearing, suspension members, y-pipe and engine are all shared between these 3 vehicles.
