Pulsar GTiRs same thing, Celica GT4s same thing...Most times guys break the Transfer Case or the Center LSD.

Reason why i love the Evo RS...Norris Designs Evo 9 SWB and their 7 ran on the track for years on the stock diffs. The ACD/AYC diffs are no where near in comparison to the strength of those RS differentials

I don't know why this is being discussed in the man thread, but awd get better et's (relatively) however the cars ARE not designed for drag racing. Then u could argue no car is , but unlike other cars who were designed for getting from point A to B quick or slow. EVO and STi are basically rally cars, so those who want to drag race emmm go pay the price. AWD trannies are very restrictive (if thats a good way to put it) A lot of stress on the gears

never was an awd fan anyway. here's my 2 cents, awd cars rule in the offroad because their tranny can manage all the traction losses to help keep on the road, but when you remove the challenge then the stress on the drivetrain will be amplified beyond what it normally should bear on the road it was built for, therefore giving you new problems to deal with. it was built to survive where fwd and rwd would suffer but when put on the track where traction is excellent then whats the use of managing traction loss when you got so much traction and the tranny was built to work with traction losses. hmmmm anyway i love to see em in action. i still think it would be a challenge for me to drive an awd though since i love oversteer. lol. no damien i dont like understeer, its no fun. lol
