+1... wtf?
I live in MI. I got another healthy dumping from the bowels of mother nature last night; 7 inches and no one saw it coming.
I have 4x4 on my pickup, why the **** would I need it on the mustang? Aside from ANOTHER way to burn extra gas.

because AWD will launch like a bat out of hell every time, you wouldn't do it for snow. That typhoon my dad had was terrible in snow, the tires were way to wide. The truck could launch perfect every time you hit the gas though on dry or wet pavement, didn't matter. The truck had some power also, when it came out it was faster than the vette in the 1/4 mile.

Ehh. I can see it, but I can't. Anyway, I support people doing interesting things with their cars (READ: 2.3 turbo in a 67 coupe) but this one didn't make much sense to me. If you do it, I'd love to follow along and watch it happen!

The translation is, 0-60 in 3+ seconds, stays in the curve like it has sideways gravity, can clean an STI's clock from the get go. It would be quiet a ride. I have been unable to find a AWD aussie version like I though I had seen. I would think that finding the closest wheel base would be key to building one of these. I have put some thought into it but haven't pulled out the tape measure yet. You would have to have a warning label on the dash, "Exposure to high G forces can cause serious medical problems".
