motor trend does not work for infiniti, did you click the link?

fair enough, these are my observations and not fact

actually with lower HP the RWD will win, but once the HP is above the "street tire limit" the AWD will win in a drag race. this assumes there are the same gear ratio used in both cars the infinity example was the only one that had track/stopping data. If you wanted a 0-60 times then it would have been all over the board, as in 328i RWD/AWD but then you get in 335i's the AWD>RWD in 0-60 times.

OMG WHAT data, he made a comment on some "japanese university study for subaru" then said it was super secret and no-one has seen it other than need to know basis, does that pass as evidence these days. this to me tells me he was BSing and i called him out on it and he cant produce it so he covered it up.
