Holy crap! :Q

 

[Tom]

why are only the back tires smoking if it's AWD ?

btw, there are faster AWD cars..

IIRC Porche's 959 was 200+ mph and AWD. But I might be wrong.

AWD with a RWD burnout? Wierd.

I'm still partial to Shepherd's car.

Maybe its not a true 50/50 power distribution?

Umm hello people AWD does not necessarily mean even front/rear power distribution.

not to forget the skyline has an electronically controlled diff, thus, you can set the power to 100/0 R/F bias for the burnout, turn it up to around 80/20 for the launch with a dial, and boom, your gone.

you can do that on an STI too, but i think the most it will go is 30/70

35/65 F/R

edit: the DCCD has an automatic computer controlled mode or allows manual locked adjustments from 50/50 to 35/65.

we're talking quarter mile...for comparison, the 959 has a high eleven quarter time IIRC.

r34 skyline is a good example of primaryly being rwd, but is awd when needed. smartest c0mput3r evar.

edit: was waiting for it to download while i posted. its a skyline. 🙂 looks like a r32.

AWD does not always mean a 50/50 split. It depends on the type of AWD system. In a lot of automatic Subarus, it is 90% of the power to the front wheels, and 10% to the back in normal driving, unless you manualy shift into 1st or 2nd. In manual Subarus, its a 50/50 split in normal driving. Not for all, but a majority of the new generation models.

I heard AWD can sometimes mean a uneven power split between the front and rear wheels. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

 

[Shaotai]

those r32 skylines are modded to run only with the rears...

 

[sdifox]

AWD just means power is transferred to all the wheels, doesn't say anything about ratio. Doesn't Eliica go faster than that?

That is an RWD drag car with no front or center differentials.
Edit: Didn't see the video, I was thinking of a different aussie Skyline, not this white one.
