Also you will note that after the 4wd turbine cars were so dominant at Indy they were outlawed at Indy and in F1. In off road ralleys they are the thing to have if you want to compete.

Another person confused between "handling" and "traction".
There was and never will be an argument that the 4wd vehicle has more traction and is capable of faster acceleration in marginal conditions.
If a tire doesn't have the friction to the surface to prevent the vehicle from sliding, all the power available to rotate that tire won't accomplish a damn thing.
