At 100+ MPH, vehicle weight matters nil and the only perceivable thing is power since the aerodynamics are the same.

I hate AWD but need it because I use it for ski trips often. Nobody wants to stop and put on chains when the sign is up.
Also, why should anybody care about 100+ MPH if they live in US? It is like saying this car feels better than the other one when you DUI!?
The reason I don't want a heavier car is not that acceleration is slow, but the overall balance and handling of the car. A Lighter car is more enjoyable, because it accelerates, brakes, and turns with less effort and less strain on chassis.
