bingo!95snoozer said:actually you dont understand how it works....
and it depends on the car whether its a 50/50 distribution or 40/60 etc etc
evo is somewhere around a 40/60
The STi uses it too.VIPERn94Five-0 said:The Skyline GT-R's ALTESSA AWD system is pretty trick. Its a variable system that can transfer up to 90% of power to the rear wheels. So on a launch the car acts VERY RWD, and at when it senses spin from the rear tires it adds more to the front and the car just rips out of the hole...
The STi has a control that can be set manually, or to auto.go.rei GT said:I think the Skyline's is more advanced and completely computer contolled, whereas the Sti has a control on the console to adjust manually for launching, ect. ??

It would be more acceptable to compare a 04 cobra and a 04 Evo. Actually cause of the cost difference it would be more like the upcoming Evo MR (more hp, and other goodies).
They are both great cars out of the box, and extremely upgradeable. With some good mod money the Evo probably wouldnt catch the Cobra in a 1/4 mile test, but go to a road course with 2 great drivers and see how the 2 fare.

mystang94gt said:well I hate to break it to you but that was an EVO you were racing. If it said Rally Art then thats what it was. It's a little farther down the food chain from the evo but still a fast car. Does anyone know the numbers on it? I know it comes with more than 200hp but not on the evo's level.

That's the kind of AWD I'd like to have.SkylineGTR said:100%. GT-R is a RWD until there is loss of traction. Pulling the AWD fuse on a R32 or R34 GT-R will make it RWD only. Nice feature if you only have 2wd dynos around.
That sounds about right. There's a guy where I work that has both an Evo and an STi, and he says they drive 99% of the time like a FWD car, until they lose traction. Especially the STi. I like the driving dynamics of a RWD car myself, and so it sounds like the system in the GT-R is superior, at least in my humble opinionEVO and STi are FWD based, variable AWD's. I believe they can deliver power to individual wheels but they can't transfer 100% of the power to the front (which only makes sense if it is to the rear).
