That is seriously bad, Ford better be looking at some of these kids to pick up their crappy cars they have been building as of lately

awd would just slow it down
I think it needs bigger brakes and driver would probably need ear plugs.
And about Ford looking at these kids, well I'd venture to say that Ford funded this little project, so I'm sure they're looking at hiring some of the students.

AWD slow down a 550 hp engine? Not enough for anyone of us to notice. It sure could use that traction from the launch.

The styling's a little off, but it's an awesome concept.

A buddy of mine got some mods done on his Cobra. Now he loses traction in 4th gear. 500+ hp will do that.
Sounds like AWD could be called for on every launch AND hard shift.

Ya'll do realize that it's not a street car, right?
It's also not a drag car.
AWD would slow it down for what it was made for, road courses.
