Ideally 300 WHP AWD car would be the same speed as a 300 WHP RWD car from a roll if their HP curves
has the same shape. An AWD car would likely be faster out of the hole as tire splippage from start is spread out over 4 tires instead of 2.
If you ran these on the same dyno (like a mustange AWD) which can measure 2WD or 4WD then you can maybe make these assumptions. As Nye has pointed out, dynos are not the same, so numbers between dyno's cannot be easily correlated. The best way to do this is to take a car and measure it on both dyno's to use a standard.
