So is the car going to make 1,670whp+ or not?

 

 

 

So let me understand his thinking...

 

SV-1,300whp-RWD-3,500lbs. (.38 Cd with aero package .33 without)

 

-VS-

 

SL-1,600whp-AWD-3,300lbs. (.36 Cd)

 

You said 1670 and then changed it to 1300 for your comparison. It's more like:

 

SV-MUCH > 1600whp - RWD - 3,250 - 3,300 pounds

 

-VS-

 

SL - 1500whp - AWD (meaningless since not racing 0-60 or 1/4 mile) - 3,503 pounds (assuming UGR kept it as light as Heffner).

 

Also don't forget that UGR dyno's all of their cars in RWD because they kept snapping front driveshafts in AWD and, because of this, have been desperately trying to have a certain company make them quick-disconnect ones. LOL

 

That's why they say "whp". they don't want to say what kind.

I think physics and math might say different....

 

Completely depends on the situation. If that were a blanket true statement, Formula 1, Dragsters, ALMS, Indy Car, NASCAR, etc. have all missed the AWD boat. Therefore, there are obviously many disadvantages to AWD in certain applications. In high-speed runs, it mostly saps power, PARTICULARLY in Lambos terrible AWD system. The G isn't nearly as bad as the M, but it's no Haldex system either.
