AWD vs. Fwd
WINNER = AWD by far

If i could go back would i have gotten AWD?...yes. Do i regret getting my GST?...Hell NO! I love my car. It pulls great and is in amazing shape inside out.

I think when deciding whether or not to upgrade to AWD, you have to take a few things into consideration.

Personally:
- I never plan to take my car to the track
- I have owned it for 1.5 years and never once launched it
- I dont plan to ever launch it(so i dont need to drop the clutch at 6k)
- I never race from a stop on the street
- If i do race, which hasnt been much, its always from a roll. People always assume this means highway bull shit. No.
- I just enjoy driving the car. Im not really an agressive driver at all, but at times i am spirited. To me, its fun to be driving with traffic, then hit boost, and suddenly just watch as the car next to you seems to go in reverse. I love to drive my car fast because i love the feeling, i dont care about smoking the guy next to me at the light.

Anyway. My point with all this is that it depends on what you want. The only time it would be nice to have AWD is in the rain....BUT even then it doesnt really matter, cuz you shouldnt be driving fast in the rain anyway. Also, i have a evo16g. Its definetly not at its full potential, but according to dsmlink im putting down around 230-250whp(24.7lbs/min), AND i have no traction problems.

EDIT: I just thought about another time i would like to have AWD...THE SNOW!! I dont want people to think im against AWD, because i would definetly love to have AWD. I have driven a AWD dsm and loved it. But to upgrade, it really just depends on your goals imo.
