Mainly front wheel drive during start up from full stop

I thought that the RL is programmed to have more of the power going to the rear wheels during initial acceleration from a stop, but I noticed on the meter that the power was at the front wheels. Has anyone noticed this?

This is correct. The power starts at the front first or moreso. I have aslo noticed this but I remember seeing somewhere that the car distributes from the front first.

The car drives as a front wheel drive car most of the time. If you want to see it transfer power to the rear, do a brake stand launch and you'll see power flow to rear to prevent the fronts from slipping.

Brake Stand Launch is where you keep your foot on the brake and gas the car at th same time. Then lift your foot off the brake. You should then ba able to view the results from the SH-AWD. Come on you know you did this all the time when you where a kid. What did you call it then?

HaHa, I never did it as a kid. I don't think I will start now with the RL. Have you done it with your RL?
