Default GT500, all wheel drive?

I was reading, and it said the gt500 for 2006 will be full time all wheel drive, does anyone know if this is true, and if so, how would you do burnouts?

in the first paragraph

"NEW YORK, March 23, 2005 -- For those who come into work on Monday morning with grease under their fingernails, 450 horsepower, all-wheel drive and a six-speed transmission sound like the makings for a perfect weekend at the race track. To other people, those numbers sound like a solid business plan."

You asked about HOW DO YOU BURNOUT?

All I could say, With 450 horses, a lot of fun, and a lot more rubber!

not crazy at all...an all wheel drive button of some kind would be a better plan though...then you can use the allwheel drive for your winding and twisting roads and still have your rear wheel drive for the classic muscle car feel....
allwheel drive in a mustang would be killer cool...sure its a big gamble among the old faithfull followers of the car but....think of the acceleration gains with all wheel drive that are possable when you attach that kind of power lol
even the 05 gt with 300 hp if you add all wheel drive think of the acceration improvements. better handleing...
