AWD cars are overhyped. They're great on a road race course, but for drag racing you're better off with RWD and slicks. Reason being, an AWD car splits the power between the front and rear tires. At high power levels, the weight transfers to the rear on launch, where only 50% of the power is! On top of that, AWD adds substantial weight to the vehicle.
