wow shadow you have much to learn.

my car weighs exactly 3,080 wich is not heavy and not a light weight honda ether

the sti and evo 8 both weigh in at 3,250 i think wich is still lighter then any american v8 car

the new gto weighs 3,600 lbs i think the mustang 3,500 lbs

so its true AWD does weigh alittle more then a 2,700 si or 2,800 srt-4 but still a lot less then you american v8 muscle cars


My fully loaded WS6 is just under 3500lbs. It's also a foot longer, 6 inches wider, has double the number of cylinders, and tires as wide as your driver's seat. That's not a great comparison.

The base Z28 camaro (LS1) weighs in around 3100lbs. That's actually a much better comparison because it carries nearly the same "options" as your WRX. But it's still much larger and manages to be not much heavier.

The GTO is a pig...3800lbs commonly equipped.

Not necessarily. The RWD car will need more power going to the wheels to catch the AWD car in the top end.

The RWD car has more power to the wheels to begin with due to alot less driveline weight.
