And with AWD you will never get the surreal sensation of walking on a thread between grip and slip. Turn-in is always relatively shit on every AWD configurations of RWD cars because of weight. |
Your point may apply if you're buying the car only for racing in which case there are better, lighter, cars available for that. But if you're in the snow belt and you daily drive your car more times than race it, then your points fall flat.
Also, it's ironic you're raising the weight issue and then your video example is that of an E92 M3 which is a 3700 lb porker. The AWD G8x is going to be 200 lbs lighter than the E92 and (like the current M5) you can switch to 100% RWD with the push of a button. I just don't see the issue here. Flasch is reporting both a pure RWD model and an AWD model that you can toggle to 100% RWD.
