Jeff:

I think this is exactly the point. Since the torque is split between
four tire contact patches instead of two, you can get more power down
faster, at the adhesion limit, exiting the corner with more speed.

I would also go out on a limb and say that, _by definition_, exiting
a corner faster = improved cornering.
