OP, give it a drive if you haven't already. You may find you won't want to mod it after-all.

A very untrue statement, I tried it and nothing happened. It just moved more power to the back instead of the front. It was still an AWD car.Originally Posted by d1sturb3d119
In other words turn the VSA off and you'll get sideways pretty quick.

OMG. If you don't know how to drive the car don't blame the AWD system. I'm tired of all the mis-information because someone 'thinks' that it doesn't work that way. Originally Posted by Brock79

You tried and nothing happened but it still sent power to the back instead of the front so its an AWD car?!
You have 300HP going to an AWD system that 70% of torque to the back wheels and 100% of that torque to one wheel. Oversteer does not mean mashing the throttle and hoping that the power kicks the back end out.
If you really want to see your car oversteer upset the chassis. The Swedish flick is all you need to get it going sideways in dry conditions.
In the wet or snow the car WILL kick the back end out provided you know how to actually make it happen. They program these systems to save an average driver's ass in any condition.
Goes to show a good driver can make any car over steer. Watch from 1:00. that's an FWD TL getting sideways.
Not a great video but a pretty good example start 22 seconds in

With crappy tires, even AWD cars can be made to slide sideways in the dry.Originally Posted by amill

Only with super sticky summer tires, then AWD cars are very difficult to slide sideways in the dry.
