My ex-gf had an turbo AWD DSM. One night we were heading home [she was driving, in her car] and we came to a light and a Cobra pulls up next to us. short story: light turns green, stang looses its rear end in a cloud of tire smoke. Couple of key things here: -both cars were stopped on a slight incline (advantage to the FWD/AWD) -my ex-gf knew her car like the back of her hand (rpm shift points/engine power band,etc...) -driver X didn't know what the hell he was doing. pretty funny when the guy pulled up next to us at the next light after about a minute... he couldn't even look at us.
