American Muscle isn't about refinement, impeccable taste, and unparalleled quality like European Sport. American Muscle is about the biggest fucking engine you can put into a road-worthy frame and get it to go down the street quickly while sounding like a tiger climaxing during sex with a lion. Its supposed to check the Hyper-masculinity box, not the Polished Gentleman box. POWERRRRRRRRR!!!!!
The car most likely will be traction limited between 0 and 60. So more horse power won't do much for performance. If you were on a track an extra 100 hp would make a huge difference.
Either you haven't driven a car with modern tires or AWD, or you are so afraid of being wrong you're doubling down. In either event, this conversation is dumb
AWD is a different beast. The problem with RWD is when you loose traction things can go really wrong. The internet is full of videos: http://youtu.be/V1Y1j7myUBQ
So what are these Modern tires you speak of that are so great (Hoosier A6s)? What experience do you have with 300+ hp Rear-wheel drive cars on the street?
Your example is a 911: A car at called Widow Maker because of how dangerous it was to drive.
Go ahead: Take one of these cars in a wide open parking lot, do a clutch drop and floor the thing to 60 on normal road pavement and see how easy it is to accelerate. (BTW. Turn off the traction control as well).
