Manufacturers like Audi and Subaru are selling there systems as more of a safety thing. Not really a performance standpoint. And neither Audi or Subaru makes a "sports car."

I'd say that phrase is incorrect. While Audi and Subaru may be after safety, the WRX STi is as good as any 4-door sports car I've ever seen. And the Audi RS-6 can tie a Corvette or a 360 Spider in a drag race. I guess you could classify these as sports sedans though.
On that note, it is not necessary to upgrade to AWD. Like stated earlier by many, AWD helps off-the-line accerlation and a little bit with handling in sitcky situations. But the weight only keeps it down when it comes to the quarter-mile and actual F1 or LeMans racing.
