I'm no expert, but I think AWD's advantage lies in handling more than straight line acceleration. Sure, the Porsche twin turbo is AWD, but tuner 996's (RUF, TechArt, etc.) with 600+ hp are RWD. As long as there's sufficient traction, wouldn't RWD be quicker in straight line because of weight savings?
