you could be right. with different suspension components and powertrain tuning it could feel like a very different car.

have you spent a significant amount of time driving an awd/turbo car hard?

awd car (or a rwd car with huge tires or a motorycle) will explode out of turns in a way that is impossible for a fwd car to replicate.. i also find awd + long travel suspension make the car very stable and extremely easy to drive quickly on imperfect/unfamiliar roads

hard to describe.. go try it. i think you will agree with me that being 'boosted from the factory' is pretty much where the similar between the fwd and awd cars you mentioned end
