I think that FWD cars loose a little efficiency getting power into wheels that turn. But the traction and control you get kinda makes up for it.
BTW, listening to someone talk about "efficiency" and "muscle car" in the ssame breath seems a little ridiculous. Those lusting for an updated charger have no interest in getting 25 MPG. They're just interested in getting a couple extra Horsepower from not having so many transfer cases between the engine and the drive wheel.
For stability and control AWD is the way to go. I kinda like the RX400 model that is coming out soon. It's AWD and they completely ditch the drive shaft for the rear wheels. The front is powered by the mechanical motor, the rear is powered strictly by an electric motor.
