In terms of poor traction conditions (i.e. ice and snow) though, full-time awd like what subie offers provides better traction, all things being equal such as tires and throttle input, than real-time awd like in the 2G Outtie. |

Some of the subie models and years have different torque distributions. I honestly forget what they are but they are not far off from the manuals, in most cases (I think an auto 04 impreza is 60f:40r and a std impreza is 55f:45r, or was the torque movement 10% between f:r in the auto and 5% in the std?). I think I read somwhere sometime though one of the models starting with a 90f:10r distribution. In any event there is more torque distribution to the rear wheels in most auto transmission subies than most other real-time awd systems. But the std subies are really the ones that optimize traction in poor conditions. |
