I use the Subaru Impreza Rally Car '01 fully tuned with soft comfort tyres, has the power to thrust you out of small cornered drifts like some of the corners on the Tsukuba circuit but can also handle high speed drifts on the wider tracks.

many of these cars have a fuse you can pull to make them rear wheel.

Sorry but I can't let this slide (no pun intended). A fuse, really? C'mon dude. You either have never worked on a car or have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. No way ever has there ever been a car you can pull a fuse and change what the drive wheels are.

*EPIC FACEPALM*

Actually on a part time four wheel drive like the trucks made by ford, chevy, or dodge you can pull a fuse that shuts off the electric actuator that engages the front axel on the vehicle. That would make it a rwd only. I don't think it would be the same for a full time or awd car like a GTR. So both of you are sort of right.
 
Truck 4WD systems are different from car AWD systems. Trucks that have the ability to select 2WD-4WD use transfer cases and until recently only powered one wheel at the front and the rear.

Cars, especially AWD cars like this discussion has been about, use differentials, like Audi's Quattro uses Torsen diffs for front, center, and rear. And I assure you they can't be changed by just pulling a fuse, considering I own a A4 and work at a Audi dealership as a technician.
 
R32 GTR's were the last cars to do the fuse pulling trick on. Otherwise you'd have to remove the front axles on a Evo or Subie. Even if you do the driveshafts are prone to failure
 
I have an R32 GTR and it is currently running RWD only because I removed the ATESSA 4WD fuse. It is currently running like that very happily (read: can lose traction easily in fourth)
