Latest thoughts on AWD drag racing
One hot topic lately is drag racing an AWD car. Our recent post, “What are the pros and cons of drag racing an AWD car?” dives straight into the benefits and drawbacks. The upside? Better traction and stability, especially when the track is wet, and a quick launch that can shave seconds off your time. The downside? Extra weight from the drivetrain and higher maintenance costs. We keep the explanation simple so you can weigh the trade‑offs before you hit the strip.
Thinking about trying an AWD drag run? Start by checking tire pressure, keep the weight low, and practice launch control if your car has it. Even a modest power increase can make a big difference when the wheels stay glued to the pavement. And remember, a heavier car might need a longer burnout to get the tires up to temperature – that’s part of the learning curve.
Beyond drag racing, our category covers circuit racing, rally cross and street performance upgrades. Each article follows the same pattern: a quick intro, the key points you care about, and a short takeaway you can apply right away. We also feature stories from Subaru racing teams, so you get a glimpse of how the pros tune their machines for victory.
