This is the only real way to compare AWD/FWD/RWD, and Jeff is right - it
would be relatively easy to do this.  However, I think that the driver and
track variables would be large enough to mostly obscure the differences
between AWD/RWD.  I wouldn't waste my time on such a trivial pursuit.  I 
have too many more important things to worry about, like bigger exhausts, 
better EFI, better handling, bigger wheels/tires etc.
