That is a good point. AWD cars can get to the 60' mark quicker, but at the
much lower speed than any other comparable non AWD car. That higher speed
will help for the rest of the straight and decrease that AWD advantage off
the line.
Have in mind that AWD cars make 1/4 mile at much lower speeds than any other
cars. For an average mid 13 sec run, AWD car will do it at 100 m/h, while
Camaro or Mustang will probably get there with 105 m/h or so for the trap
speed.
