That's why you don't see these 10,000 plus hp drag cars running AWD. Plus AWD takes away a huge part of the fun of a sports car.....smoking tires and drifting when you're just out for a fun little joy ride.
Check out some of the cars in the top ten of the two second club (0-60 under 3 seconds) and see how many are AWD. A car like the Bugatti Chiron would be uncontrollable without AWD . AWD allows you to distribute power much better around a track which adds to the fun ,now driving an automatic takes away a huge part of the fun of a sports cars , i don't care how fast they shift.
