FWD is slower off the line, though you may possibly have something like a 2 or 3 mph in top end.
Off the line is slower due to wheelspin, all things being equal.
Also, the 92 and 93 SVX had a slightly different shift map, which made them faster off the line than later cars. Since all 92 and 93 cars were all wheel drive, those awds were indeed teh fastar than later FWDs.
Oh, and a 4.44 AWD with eat any stock svx off the line. Wheel spin would become a significant factor with a 4.44 FWD. So the same applies.
The only way I could see a FWD SVX run faster than an AWD svx would be with some really wide, really sticky tires up front. And the track was warm, and dry.
And forgive my incoherent mumbling, running on hour 48 with no sleep.
