I live in SoCal where it hardly rains and never snows but I love the capabilities of good AWD cars on the track. Being able to get on the gas early in each turn is so much more fun to me.
A car like the Evo has 3 LSD's and BMW (non M) has 0? What is up with that? I am having a very hard time choosing between the 135i/335i and the Evo X. Looks do not matter to me because I think both are pretty ugly. I just want a car that will do well at the track and still get me through my 2 mile daily commute.

If you're buying a car primarily for how it drives on the track then get a Lotus Elise. At a pinch you can drive it every day and it will simply annihilate most other vehicles, including ones that have far more power. Not sure why you think AWD is such a virtue on the track; light weight and agility are far more important.
