Some inspiration

maybe not enough power loss in the awd drivetrain

The AWD code is a bit of a hack so you might have to manually cut down on the power to compensate....

i don't foresee it putting on too many more faces. i think with another 1000 i would have the inside looking really really nice

Should be fine.

if there's a skeletal system there then that would be able to make the driver steer the car, look around, jump out of the car and run to safety as it explodes

Yeah, eventually I'd like to do this. The Cal3D library is an easy way to add skeletal animation.

every so often i get an svn then kill some time trying to compile it in vc6.

If I get a chance I'll try to compile a windows version for ya. What we really need is a proper windows release, though. :-)
