This is a silly comment as the quickest AWD car in the world is touching 6.5's in the 1/4. RWD cars are and will always be much quicker than AWD cars at the limit. For stock or minor mods cars - yes - AWD will be an advantage (on the street). But add a tire to C7Z and a healthy burn out and the advantage goes back to the RWD car.
I believe the quickest legit stock C7Z is in the 10.4's range with unicorn DA and star dust track prep with a tire. So that isn't too shabby. The F90 is a super stout platform - and for even a stock car - it is putting in some solid numbers. I have trapped 129.5 MPH. With a reasonable 60' - that is a solid mid 10 second car all day.

Agree with you from an ET perspective, but the C7s trap speed is underwhelming to say the least. A car that should be producing 650/650 stock + mods and weighs 800 lbs less than the M5 should be able to produce 130+mph trap speeds. Some stock C6Zs trap 124 mph, not too far off the C7Z. I've always found the acceleration numbers of the C7Z to be disappointing.
