Richard,
Most manufacturer's AWD systems aren't strong enough to handle drag
launches, especially when the car is producing more power than it did
stock. Quaiffe makes a 6-speed sequential AWD transaxle (for either
transverse or north/south mounting) but that's at least $20K and its
limited to ab
Every year or so we have the AWD discussion on SDML. I have followed
many. The point is it is easier to put a V8 in with RWD and you get
better results. AWD is a bandaid for FWD in this case. Not to many AWD
dragsters. Had Jeeps but AWD was for a different purpose.

Keeping the rack was easier by far. The wheels were straigened out and a

No, my point is that the gains far outweigh the perceived "loss", so in
essence there IS no loss seeing as it is outweighed by the gains.
DSM drivetrain sucks tho. It may very well lose more when comparing an
AWD automatic DSM to twin engine/automatics like I suggest. However the

Jeff, let's put this into perspective...with ONE engine at 150hp and an
automatic transmission, you lose, say, 20 hp. Just a ballpark figure.
Not accurate. But say 20. Leaving you with 130 to the wheels.
Add your second 150hp engine and auto trans, and you put an ADDITIONAL
130whp in the rears. Le
One disadvantage of two engines is power train loss. Even if two T1s making
160hp equals 320hp, you loose twice the power going through two
transmissions. With 2 automatics, loss is around 40 to 50hp.
