92 Automatic TSi...AWD???or FWD??? if FWD, how much slower is it to an AWD?Does it trap higher MPH on 1/4 mile?? Can someone compare the stwo with facts, and not opinion.

awd will desimate out of the hole, just like a manual except that you can build boost at launch just by slightly powerbraking to load the motor.

fwd will trap higher, but if im not mistaken they both have the ~same top speed.

My buddy has a 92 A/T AWD and he can go 0-110 in nothin at all but it takes him another 30-45 sec to break 130.... that is all stock save a crushed bov, bcs drilled out and a muffler

so awd will accelerate a hell of a lot faster, but fwd will take top end

I knoe that of the AWD vs FWD/RWD. But i was just wondering if all auto TSi's are FWD. but i guess not. even non 4wd/AWD cars have Driveshafts right?? how can i look at my car without looking at the manual which i dont have, and find out if its AWD or FWD???

Look under the ass end of the car. You should see a "pumpkin" looking thing. That is your rear diff which will have two driveshafts going to each rear wheel.
