Make the race about 600 miles.

Front/rear torque distribution depends on which AWD system you are talking about, and the current settings for that system. Too many variables to answer that question. Be specific.

There is nearly zero demand for a C4 AWD conversion kit. Which means there is literally zero chance that a decent engineering firm could reoup the development cost of such a kit. I am not at all surprised that such a conversion kit does not exist.

100% on the money. The exact reason for my post #10.

No....I want my mommy. That's hilarious! LOL
Must be nice to be young and afford to buy/strip a Telsa.

a recent post on the c7 section about a c7 getting beat by a tesla has me panicked. But that said, a properly modd lighter c4 platform i believe isnt as vulnerable to getting beat by one. I Would way rather take a modd optispark lt1 vs the new lt1 any day.
luckily, where i live in ohio, we dont have many teslas .
however, what steps can i take to keep my supercharged 93 vert from getting beat by one off fhe line?
i am thinking about adding a small nitrous shot and ramping timing a little (since nitrous cools down the boosted heated supercharged air).
obviously the tire dept needs to put down insane grip.
any other ideas?

There aren't any! Deal with it!!!
Why do you start these ridiculous threads?

W/o AWD, you're never going to match a Tesla w/any streetable tire and/or suspension.

Good luck. Very few people on this forum have enough to hang with one at the end of the quarter, let alone at the start. I'll let you know at some point. Teslas are a dime a dozen down here in South Orange County. My coworker has one so maybe I'll run his someday.
Back in the hey day on this forum before people moved onto "cooler", faster projects there was a guy that was designing and almost started to work on an awd c4. I can't remember if it was Bruce or Baldturbofreak. Either way, search their posts and you might find some info to help shape your thoughts.
I got on at the tail end of things in 2006ish. Their cars would make my car appear tame!

I just remember the rear mount turbo disaster that occurred with the two individuals. Started as best friends with good intentions and ending with the two guys nearly at blows.
It just proves the old adage of not mixing money and friends....

Seriously it's not that fast.
That gutted one runs mid 10's@124MPH with a 1.60 60ft on a prepped race track.....

True...though the vid appeared to be shorter racing...like 1/8th. I would take it one step further and say the big advantage being shown is in the 60ft times -- due to the AWD setup and instant torque of the electric motors.
