AWD vs RWD

I’m gonna go with carb.

The video of the two jeeps kind of confused me which way to go now :) both ways seem like a decent option.
Your budget will be the decision maker.
4 wheel would be more interesting, it is a Jeep,,will also be more expensive to build and maintain.
2 wheel will be less expensive,, will still be an unusual and fun drag vehicle.
So do what you can do well.
If you build a 2 wheel drive for the strip, no reason you could not convert it to 4 wheel later.
