Well I don't want to spend a lot and so far the only awd v8 platform, car wise, is rs4 and r8. Too rich for my blood. Porsche didn't make an awd v8. They are all flat 6s. Any other thoughts?

Only problem with those G35x's, is that you're going to be replacing most of the drivetrain components for anything over about 350whp. People have beefed them up though, and they are pretty awesome.
