The new 4WD cars have variable ratios of power which goes to front back. The current porsche turbo 997 can send 100% power to the front if neccessary.

So to make it short, every car which has 4WD or even only FWD tends to understeer heavily.

But i think i understand what you mean - if there is some degree of lock in the front diff the car pulls itself through the corner because we are driving in the dirt. one wheel would spin without traction if there wasnīt some degree of locking...

Marc.
Exactly what I mean. Sorry about the bad comparison! LOL, but you get my point. And Daf hada good point, you may want to experiment to see what you like....
