Or maybe even a Miata.

Are you talking about quick 0-60 and quarter mile, because that's where AWD launches save some significant time. Or are you talking from a roll, or at 60mph?
For best handling, RWD still reigns king. AWD is great for acceleration between points.
The reason you get one of these is you want to have your cake and eat it too, the ability to take people (people with legs that is) places, rather than just one other person.
My "camaro" is not about the fastest straight line. It's slower than the regular SS in a straight line...but it's faster around a track and it handles significantly better. That's why I bought it. If you don't get that, then no, you probably won't get this either. These aren't just about going as fast as possible in a straight line, although they do that pretty well. They tend to deliver a more rounded package.
