The porsche has a fix ratio of power which goes front/back of maybe 20% front/80% back, it is not VARIABLE.

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 wasn´t 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....

I ran a locker in off road truck. :D
To thick of oil in rear make the two back tires want to turn at same speed.
If the inside don't turn slower it will push the front bad under power.
More weight on rear. I agree totally on trial and error. The same thing for
one person won't work for another. The smoother surface will be better with less weight oil.
