Dang, I love the g35's.. but ever since I got my TL-S.. i say.. F THE G! Everytime i bump into one they try to start something. Anyways.. comment to this,
"my fiance says that i need to grow up. i think i need some hp mods, any suggestions?"
I think that's hilarious, i agree that g35 was asking for it. Girls just don't understand pride.

I've got my RWD car set up good enough that on the street I can launch as good or better than an AWD and at the track it gets worse. AWD is a little more foolproof and it's easier for a novice driver to get a good lanch. On a higher powered RWD car, if you over do it, you're just going to go up in smoke.

As far as I'm aware the fastest drag times are all put down by RWD vehicles.
AWD looses a tremendous amount of power to the wheels and is harder to launch.
AWD is perfect for rally, a moderate drag car, and a great street car imo.
From a roll, does it really matter how many wheels are spinning? As long as you have traction it comes down to weight and power to the wheels.

Forgot.... simply overlooked the Top Fuel dragsters and funny cars. Not many AWD cars there, or on the salt flats.
Not sure what I was thinking, I guess I was only narrowing it down to the realm of my experience so far with AWD cars. I've never actually launched an AWD car 
(hard launch, with the intent of racing) because I've never owned one, and usually don't street race. But from what I've seen on the street, Evos, STis and the sort usually end up half a car ahead right after launch compared to similarly powered cars.

There's always a chance I haven't run into one with a good driver. I had a friend with a heavily modded S4 on drag radials. Never got a chance to try that one out.
