So in answer to the OP's question "Is the AWD system the best for drag racing? awd vrs rwd?" You are saying RWD then 
.
Don't get me wrong anyone who knows me knows that I have one thing in mind, to beat the majority of domestic RWD cars at both track and street. To do that, sometimes you have to put yourself in their shoes and ask yourself, if I am a RWD what would I do to beat an AWD. Then you can start to figure out how to counter it. In the end it usually comes down to $$$.
If you haven't broken 11s with your own EVO then wouldn't saying that it is easy for an EVO to break 11s a little premature. There are a small number of EVOs that can do it with a stock turbo. I can tell you that with a large turbo it's easy but not that easy. Just don't want someone to be misled.

No debate there... But for a average joe that likes to go fast AWD Evo's are great. On the street no RWD car will out launch AWD. On the track it takes drag radials to even things out and slicks to slightly pull better 60 foots. Again this is street cars not drag racers.
Also I would think that if you trap in the 114's-115 range you should see high 11's. A stock turbo can do that so again not very hard. Just my opinion.

Should be in a different thread. Sounds good in theory but if seeing high 11's isn't very hard on a stock turbo then why haven't you done it yet? I personally know 3 people who have done it on a stock turbo it's not like they just added bolt ons, got a tune, drove to the track and ran a high 11. It took quite a few attempts and adjustments before they were able to get it.

But that's beyond the point, I had a mis-fortunate accident at teh track when i got my New setup. Had to leave the track with bad results..All my fault.
But I do think with my current setup I can taste the 12.0 if no 11.9 mark. Still stock turbo.
Again i'm not trying to seem like a cocky ***..I just think with my average driving It can be done..anybody with above average driving skills should get atleast high 11's with a nice setup..Not a crazy setup just nice.
