If you want a highway monster and don't need good results at the track or light-to-light, then FWD is OK.

The big HP will be useless unless you're already moving, and even then it's only good in higher gears where you can get in big trouble on the streets.

You could build it for the drag strip but the cost is high for the results compared to an AWD car. It would also not be very "streetable".

If you want it on a road course, again AWD is king.

Some advantage though is if you are not taking it too far, it should be more reliable and fuel efficient.

So, what's your goal?
