I have a new found love for the AWD platform after driving my 3000GT VR4. I have yet to be beaten in any stoplight challenge because I can launch at about 3 - 3.5k RPM and just lunge forward while V8 RWD cars either bog or burn out. Although I loved my Contour SVT for other reasons, the VR4 with its Twin Turbo/AWD combo make it a fun stoplight king.
