If AWD is so badass, how come there arnt any 6 second quarter mile AWD cars? I wonder why all the drag cars are RWD?
Yes this mod would be great for my grandma driving in the rain or snow, im sure it would be much safer than RWD. Other than that what good is it? Who races in the rain or snow, besides the ricer Honda ppl?
Why spend 6-10k on a AWD setup, when our RWD platforms are tried and true? I guess you would get a cool unique factor, but thats about it..

if you have driven many 500hp cars, and think that staying under boost will help you in the rain, you have another thing coming. even when i had a lil 300zx with the JW turbos and pop chargers, i remember pulling from a light in first gear, babying the throttle and almost fishtailing into a median. its just that simple. hp an rain dont go together period.
and ive been overseas in australia, driven , soarers, supras (and have pics doing so) drove a rally r34 vpsec (NIIIIICE!), ive even drive D course track, im not a master driver, but im pretty damn experienced to know anything with power in the rear and water dont mix. but if you dont feel its worth it fine, just back it up with something more concrete.
i hate the pissing contests on all forums, it sux.
this isnt about your grandmas cars
I think you would sell this kit like hot cakes if you:
1. Make a kit for w58's because you know When in Rome..........
2. Make a kit for folks that have there own 5 speed without a core charge as an option, shipping back and forth a transmission does not sound like fun. Plus If you own a modified transmission The last thing you would want DO is send it out to have someone take the modified internals out and put them in your transmission, It's just not cost effective for the seller or the buyer. P.S. You don't want to responsible if somebody says you messed up there transmission right?

Both of you gents have good points, period. I would like to know how would this product handle D.D.? And what about the 5-6 speed v8 brothers? I'm just covering all bases here. $hogunn why diss the w58? It's a good transmission if treated well with the right modifications it's a great one, make an w58 option, trust me it would sell.
i know im going on a tangent but the lf-a should have been the supra.
the sc430 is coming along, but still has nothing on the sc300/400 series as far as natural beauty goes.
the new GTR's (which i hope to pick up by end of year) are kicking ***, but they have limitations we can exploit. the trans cant handle more than 750hp, and the car is heavy as a tank. so i figure if the sc/supra is lighter, can handle more power, and is awd, we can slay godzilla!!!!
i just hope if i pick one up that i dont come outside one day and see my sc3tt and the r35 fighting in the garage LMAO>
rant over.
the v8 guys could get in on the action since they have autos. if they use the same auto as the gte does we can work it out.
