I am sure there is a reason why we don't see AWD on the quarter mile. For road handling performance, AWD is a better technology.

the AWD cars are great for drag racing. however, once you have enough power, the weight transfer, combined with the raw power, will pull the front end, which is why you dont see ALOT of AWD cars drag racing..there is a point at which the weight of the transfer case outweighs the benefit of the added traction.

I was just reading about this in the new Mopar Muscle. Doesn't the magnum already offer this package? I think it would be pretty awesome to have an awd setup.

They offer AWD in the SXT and R/T models of the Magnum (3.5L and 5.7L) as an option. Which model trim levels would the Charger have AWD.

BTW, does anyone know why the Grand Cherokee SRT-8 has an AWD system but the 300C, Magnum, and Charger SRT-8 models do not offer an AWD system?

I don't remember what model it said it came with. Next time I'm at home, I'll look it up and see.

I think the Grand Cherokee srt 8 was competing with the Trail Blazer and Silverado SS which are also AWD. I would like to see these trucks go at it.

While I agree it was done to compete with the Trailblazer SS, I don't think it was trying to compete with the Silverado SS since the Silverado is a truck and not an SUV. Is the AWD system used in the GC SRT-8 the same the AWD system in the LX cars or if its the Quadra-Drive II. If it is the Quadra-Drive II, it might be the case that the 4Matic based AWD system used in the LX cars cannot handle that level of torque.
