0-60 AWD advantage was proven many times.

though, on 1/4 RWD would be faster

From what I read on Car and Driver they have identicle 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. At least in 2009. I doubt much has changed.

Link to the story: 2009 Infiniti G37x Coupe - Short Take Road Test - Car Reviews - Car and Driver


"With its 3.7-liter V-6 engine pumping 330 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque, the G37 offers BMW 335i performance for 328i money. The all-wheel-drive coupe weighs roughly 200 more pounds than its rear-drive sibling, but the two cars turn in equal 0-to-60-mph (5.3 seconds) and quarter-mile (13.9 seconds at 102 mph) times. The extra heft is offset by better traction at launch, and the additional poundage doesn’t affect the G’s sharp handling. What it does affect is braking, with the all-wheel-drive car turning in a 175-foot 70-to-0-mph braking distance, 11 feet longer than the rear-drive coupe. "

I saw the article somewhere from Motor Trend that the sedan is a flat 5.0 second car.

sedan is lighter than coupe and has a better coefficient of drag (0.29 vs 0.31)

and 0-60 times depend on too many factors - humidity, temperature, sea level, tires should be the same, etc.

Sedan 3,549# .29 drag coefficient
Coupe 3,633# .31 drag coefficient

Thats really not much of an advantage...................You would be lucky if that shaved a 1/10th of a second off your 0-60 times.
