Most grip = easier to bog.

so wait.... when I said "added traction" you correct me by telling me they have more grip? are.... are you high? and um.... what does bogging have to do with grip anyways? ill just give you the benefit of the doubt and assume u didnt even read my post

of course they can launch at higher rpm. but its not like you can take any awd vehicle, bounce it off the limiter, and drop the clutch. you can still spin tires in AWD, ive even seen mild modded TSi's do it. u regain traction sooner than a torquey RWD car would, but spinning is spinning and you lose time. its like single sided drive guys think awd is this magic super-stick launching system. u take a rwd car that has xx ammount of traction. and u add to it the traction from a fwd car which is intrinsically less. traction is still finite and not astonomical.

from what I have been told by awd guys is that there is still a sweet spot. u go too high u can break stuff (im sure weve all seen the numerous subaru videos with 5krpm dumps and SNAP!). too low, and its like a toyota trying to drag itself out of the mud. added traction increases the chance that a motor will bog.

The talon I had had a very small "sweet spot" to much and you bogged, to little and you bogged, but when you got it right even though it was stock it would snap your neck back
