To launch an AWD hard you have to load the convertor while on the brakes. Then just release the brakes and you should be able to chirp or spin all 4 wheels at the start.

This guy ran a 13.5 1/4 time

This other guy whos a member here btw with us ran a 14.1 on his modded GS460, mind you the non-US 460's are detuned and slower then US 460's. Also both cars are on the exact same drag strip, so both sea elevation is the same.

Not a stock 350 and the GCC 460 has a completely different engine, so not really applicable. pick on a real 460, one with good tires lol

With summer tires a stock fse 460 will run a 2.0 60ft as well, and will only gain on the 350 from there.

Don't know why the conversation even went to this, but the 350 will never be a better drag car than the 460, but that has nothing to do with OPs question. lets get back on track.

I also own an all-wheel drive 2006 GS3 and they weigh over 200 lb more than a rear wheel drive because the extra equipment that it takes to have an all-wheel drive so factor that in that's a lot of weight that's like a good size body laying in the trunk so to speak LOL. But during the rain and snow? Corners like she's on Rails
