You aren't saving anything in terms of gas mileage or drivability by disabling it. You still have to lug around the extra 150lbs all the time.

its not RWD when slip is not detected. Street driving, 0-20(ish) it stays about 70%(ish) RWD (this system is NOT exact).

no one has run the 1/4 with an X in RWD mode (fuse pulled) the car behaves MUCH differently in RWD mode so no one could really conclude that the X in AWD is indeed quicker than the X in full time RWD. but I can tell you, that the vehicle seemed somewhat quicker in RWD. Countrary to what everyone believes, AWD does not necessarily mean quicker right off the bat.

especially a smart awd like attesta, this is not a suby style awd, oh and after seeing what Neal did to his wheel, i don't think my fuse will be coming out any time soon

oh and don't forget, we might have 18 less hp, but we have more torque, not much, but we still got more
