And then there were those 502 Talons that kick butt in Louisville, but got stomped at Cash Days. Ms. Misery is a pretty serious AWD effort, with good results. But you know what I mean.
Yea, it sucks trying to get AWD cars to 60ft. Best 60ft in my car is 1.44 I think on a set of 17" MT motorcycle slicks.

Biggest advantage is with a RWD car, just get the damn thing to transfer all the weight to the back wheels and make it hook. With AWD, you do that and the front tires go up into a ball of smoke and it doesn't 60ft for shit. You have to make the entire car squat for it to 60ft decently. Doesn't help there aren't any purposely designed full slicks for 17" wheels that fit the Evo.

1.6x is good for street tires.
1.5x is good for drag radials.
1.4x is good for slicks.
1.3x - you're a 60 footing God in the AWD world.
1.2x - there's a few out there, but typically those cars are 4-linked in the rear end.
