Thread: AWD Grand Prix G8 concept vid

AWD does that to a vehicle sadly. If it were RWD it's probably be doing a lot better as far as power to the wheels.

RWD would be far better at putting down the power, but for a daily driver I would choose the AWD. It would work better than even FWD in the winter. From GM's POV if they were going to build a RWD GP then it would be to similar to the Firebird. But making it AWD opens up a new market niche.

for reference, my car makes ~170 hp at the crank and only ~130 hp at the wheels. AWD drivetrain loss is crazy.

youre comparing an 'ugly' subaru to a 'sexy' cobalt? lol

I think subbies are more attractive.

if anyone you where around when this was released. Almost every time that car made a 1/4 mile run it almost always broke something in the awd system.

put two lunch trays under your front tires and you can drift all you want

We know them as the GPX concept wheels, as those are the sames ones that were present on the 1997 GPX concept (which was similar in many aspects).
