The GT-R's downside is not AWD, that's actually an amazing peice of engineering, but it's the obvious weight that it has to carry.
What your missing sir, is that the weight is a direct result of the car being AWD. The two go hand and hand, and yes duh thats why the rwd is superior all else equal on a dry track surface. If you could somehow make a awd = the weight of its rwd equivellent (with the torque splitting stuff) it would be superior. The problem is.. Theres no way to do that in the real world.
