AWD - faster standing start from 0mph, faster thru the corner, faster in the wet, lose it AWD and you've no chance of catching it.

RWD - faster from rolling start (because of the extra bhp at the wheels), more fun drifting, lose the back end and you CAN catch it.

The main difference is the bhp loss - AWD loses bhp thru the transmission more than RWD, thatz a fact.

So example, AWD 220hp Lexus will have probably 100/120hp at the wheels.

RWD 220hp Lexus will have around 170/180hp at the wheels.

BIG difference on the freeway.
