awd for drag racing, sure. This AWD system wasn't really built for performance though, not like the Evo's and STi's were. They designed it for snow and other bad driving conditions. Hence why you can't get the performance package with the xi.
Just a guess here, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the xi cars having the most transmission issues with tuned cars on down the road.
Anyway, I was only teasing about the RWD 6mt coupes being the only performance car
