there was a post a while back with facts about what is teh best configuration. its was something like under 150bhp front wheel drive is best as there is not enough power to make use of 4wd and rear wheel drive. then from 150-250 rwd is best coz fwd cant handle the power and awd gets bogged down then above 250 awd coz its got the power to make use of the awd. its was something along those lines anyway.
