The 2WD will outperform since it is lighter -- but I agree with ltadmin. With AWD, you can go full throttle through the corners, etc. You will simply never lose any traction. In fact, I find giving it gas gives me more traction. AWD is part of the lambo experience.

If you plan to track it, your lap times will significantly improve because of the increased traction -- you can more comfortably push the car to its limits.

Unless you are a true professional, the AWD will be much faster for you except for the straights. And we are talking a marginal difference. But since you had to ask 2wd vs 4wd, I dont think you fall into that "pro driver" category. Go with the 4wd.
