Your right there is a substantial advantage off the line (60ft) over a FWD. But weight is still a factor just look at the # on a FWD and awd dsm stock for stock . The awd has the advantage off the line but the fwd can reel in and keep up and the BIG difference in weight the FWD DSM has over the VR-4 almost negates the advantage of the awd on the vr-4.
