1.5sec 60 foot time isn't that great for cars that run at the speeds you claim. Either the AWD isn't hooking up or someone is napping at the Christmas tree.

60' time has nothing to do with R/T. Timers for 60' don't start until the R/T sensor is tripped (car starts to move). If he is really having traction issues, he may be nursing it off the line to try and keep traction. Remember, he said the track is not prepped at all. As much as drag racers would love to say that their car hooks well, it has just as much to do with track prep that will pull your shoe off your foot as it does suspension and tire technology.

I still can't really believe that AWD is roasting all 4 tires at mid-track but I've never driven a car with that kind of power. Drag radials and slicks won't help becuase they stick best when warm and (usually) AWD has trouble with warm up burn outs. I'm thinking tires need to be super soft summer high perf summer tires that grip when cold.
