Because the370Z.com assed up my post, let me try this again...
AWD won't help preven hydroplaning. Tread deph, tire width, standing water, and contaminates in the water cause hydroplaning. The Z's tires are wide and wider than the EVO's, but don't think that if you had AWD that it would have prevented an accident. In some circumstances AWD may help recovery, but an experienced driver in those conditions will really only have that kind of skill to utilize the AWD system. I posted a link below to help you out.
