Maybe not the highest ratio, but the most quantity that's for sure.

alot depends on the track. my local track doesnt prep the track for "midnight madness". i ran a 14.7 in my TA there, then went to another track that was prepped and ran consistant 13.3's stock.

because there are alot of street cars on passtime there is a pretty good chance the track wont waste their time prepping when the street radials will just chew it all up again. this can lead to lots of spin and hop for anything with torque

Especially when comparing the mustang to evo's and other all wheel drive cars, the mustang will look bad when it is drivin by a bad driver. It takes a lot more skill to launch a rear wheel drive car than all wheel.

ive never launched AWD, but ive been told its more difficult because the added traction means you will more likely bog down, especially with such a small motor

Correct me if i'm wrong, can't that just be fixed by launching at a higher rpm. I know it will take litlle practice to find the right rpm. I am by no means an expert, but common sense would say it is easier.

From what i've read that is why an evo will beet a stock s197 from a dig, but from a roll it's a different race.

That's absolutely false! AWD have the most grip out of the hole, and are able to launch at a higher RPM. But I'm sure that's what you meant...
