On the AWD in the class issue. I agree they will out 60ft you but I think having to turn will be the issue. Having driven AWD and RWD cars the HP isn't that much of an advantage as they don't rotate nearly as well. For our small tight courses I don't see it as a huge advantage. Now if it is raining you've got a different story. I also am not sure people are going to be building XSB AWD 500 HP cars to run locally. Nationally it is just an arms race to see who can build the most $ that fits in the rule set. Or who can take their XP car and just re-tire/re-class them. As someone in a 1996 Mazda Miata won the class by 2 seconds on 'other' tires.

I need to drive an awd car at an autox to see what its like.

My brother has a 375 whp/wtq STI. Just from being that car when it launches, or pulls in 2nd gear there is no chance I want to run against that in my Miata. I run with/against @garage79r and our courses are for the most part fairly decent sized so that power advantage would be noticeable in my novice opinion.
