Seriously? All the domestic guys in my class are gonna cry.
Not a huge fan of AWD (except the Imprezas and early 90's Skylines) but that is going to be a beast.

Orlly?
Mannnnnn imagine the launches! Kidney destruction ahoy! On the same page, I think I read the SLR lost 300 kilograms, thats about 600 lbs lighter..... now thats some weight saving.
Only AWD cars I like are..... my CR-V
I dont really see the point of AWD racecars, great for rallying, but track I'd stick to RWD. I guess it all depends on the track.

hehe yeah, every domestic guy in my class was pretty mad, most of them didn't believe me and one of them lost a bet with me.

tell that to audi and their quattro.
winning DTM and american trans am series racing. i know one sanction (can't remember who) had to forbid teams using awd drivetrain from competing in their race.
anything domestic with that much power, is still a freakin muscle car to me

also the g can already run mid 13s stock and the hks intakes adds an estimated 10 extra hp and the exhausts add like 8 so yeah it should shove off about 1.5 to 2 sec off my times
