Just having a 4th tire on a vehicle is wasteful. With a single rear wheel and drive going to that wheel, a differential isn't needed.

I Disagree
There was a time that I agreed, but then I autoXed a WRX. Pushes through the corners, have to approach at a much lower speed, just helps in gaining the speed back. An Excellent driver on the wet will be able to take advantage of this, but most will not.
I've beaten both WRX's and EVO'S (with good (but not GREAT) driver in the) Wet in an 89 Supra N/A auto (1/2 the power to weight, a decade older, and RWD)
