The track is a different story however... Depending on how much a person preps their car to actually be able to apply their power in a usable fashion.
AWD is amazing on the street. Particularly since most of what you are doing is zero-to-speed-limit battles. Of note, even a RWD 335 can be made to launch hard. I'm getting mid 3.X 0-60 times starting in 2nd gear with the 6AT. I even out-launched a GT-R a few months ago. The Wavetrack LSD and Michelin PSS are an absolute must for anyone with RWD and a tune.
Very cool! Sounds like that launch strategy is the perfect way to mitigate traction issues for RWD. Did the GTR launch too? I'm impressed as hell, if so- launching an AWD car isnt the most difficult of tasks.
