i dunno, i myself had a hard time launching the laser on the street...id launch around 6k and would crap walk most of 1st gear and i was pretty much bone stock besides a boost controller.

a good driver in FWD could hang close enough to a GOOD awd launcher out of the hole and enough to go past him. and then again, a good majority of people with AWD have no idea how to launch in the 1st place.
