awd question
sorry if this is a noob question, but...
what are the advantages, and disadvantages of awd in the gsx? i live in florida, so i wouldnt say that weather is a problem to deal with like snow is. is there nething that much different from the awd in the gsx to the gst so i know what to look for? ps. i dont really mind if whatever i get is or isnt awd, i just want that turbo baby!!! lol

Re: awd question
Once you make enough power to spin FWD in several gears, it's not fun anymore. Traction is a big problem trying to go fast, and AWD is the solution. Advantages? Traction off the line and less understeer out of a corner. Disadvantages, weight and some extra drivetrain loss.
