Ride difference

Is there a significant difference in ride between a rwd 460 and an awd 460?

No, they’re going to ride basically the same.

A tad more weight to mellow things out and less power, when you let off the throttle it won't feel as light and flowing as a rwd car due to driveline drag.

Reportedly there is, however, some difference in ride between the SWB and the LWB cars.

There is, the LWB cars ride better because of the longer wheelbase.

I drove both, they are pretty close over all. My 2007 was RWD, and my 2014 is AWD. One thing about the AWD and the 19" tires, this thing really sticks to the road. On my 2007, I knew the point where I could get some slip, on the 2014, I have not been able to do it YET.

but, over all, they drive the same (for the reference, I did drive a 2013 RWD)
