Who Would Be Faster

Agreed. And to the guys saying an AWD will have a quicker launch, not always. RWD is just as fast if you can get the grip, it's just getting it is not easy. Ask any top end drag racer. They've kept RWD for a reason. If you can put the power down with just the rear wheels, you can be just as quick, if not quicker. Why do you think Top Fuel still runs RWD? It's not for nostalgia's sake.

Well they use RWD because the engine is in the front, and too difficult to fit such massive wheels on the front where the power would be going. You can't argue they picked RWD over FWD, it just happens that mechanically it doesn't make sense any other way. Anyhoo, GTR will decimate with equal LOW-MEDIUM skill drivers, GTT probably win if you are both highly skilled because the power will go down better.

Nice build too, certainly much better value for money than say $30k for a N1 crate engine, though resell will surely be less
