A quattro system is ideally suited to the power  :D

That would explain all those quattro F1 cars you see then.

F1 cars aren't road cars now are they?
Some of the very fast Jap cars are 4 wheel drive, i think that speaks volumes for 4 wheel drive system.

4 wheel drive doesn't give you any extra grip thats why range rovers and the like never use it for going up muddy hills.

If your gonna get technical then you better get a mid engined car anyway as this offers the best weight distribution.

4 wheel drive is safer in a road car, especially if the engine is putting out 400bhp, and will certainly grip better.

There is no special need for a car to be mid engined for perfect weight distribution - BMW manage a 50:50 split weith every car they produce. But on the whole yes, mid-engined (or even front mid-engined) is the way to go.

4wd is safer yes. But if safety is a prime concern you shouldn't really be buying a car with 400bhp under the bonnet. You'd be much happier with a Volvo.
