yeah well i might sell GTR as well .. not sure was looking at a few ctsv's... lol ..

 

Awd is not for launching with the best 60', cause it's not, it's for control in turns and bad weather; weight transfer and rwd have made the fastest 60fts ever as well as et's and traps lol. You obviously don't know much about the nhra or physics.

 

bro top fuel..pro-stock..pro-mod..top alcohol....10.5..all AWD..oh wait nevermind..

i got 2 buddies with gtrs lol they only want to race my mustang when its below 40 degrees and raining lmfao..

rwd hooks if you know how to set your car up..street or track.

 

Exactly, this guy knows. I think when more teams start running bigger rubber out back and working the suspension and or diff for only engaging after the front wheels have full load via the suspension telling the ecu(this is just my theory on what might come someday); there will be 1.0-1.1's 60fts and what not with the power the 4g63 is making.

 

All else being equal, AWD will have more traction than RWD, especially when factoring in how little grip street tires have.

If you're talking purpose built drag race cars with drag slicks, then yes RWD is superior due to reduced weight, complexity, and parasitic losses. A top fuel car has almost no weight on the front wheels at launch, so driving them would be pointless. A heavy car like the GT-R does not have such a limitation, and even with weight transfer there's still something like 500 lbs on each of the front tires.

Compare a 997 Turbo with a 996 GT2 - The AWD Turbo wins a drag race with a lower trap speed because it launches faster than the RWD GT2.

 

I love the CTS-V. A bit too luxury and not enough sporty for ME, though I respect what they can do and they certainly look amazing.
