Have you ever considered going with an AWD setup?  Perhaps the Audi setup
would work.  They split the torque between the front and rear wheels
using a Zexel Torsen type differential.  That way, all four wheels will
grab, but the front will not tend to spin out and rob power from the rear
when the front end starts to get light.

What does Lambroghini use for its Diablo?  Could one of those transfer
cases be obtained for less than a mint?  Does Porsche have any AWD
models?
