Ya, my V8 I noticed doesn't. So does this mean that the locking of it makes the rear
possi? Also, what is the split of power to the front versus rear wheels? I notice
when I blow donuts in my V8 (in snow), that the rear flips around pretty good, but it's
definitely more of a slide then a rear wheel drive car does. I seems to put the car in
more of a 4-wheel slide until the momentum of the rear over takes the front.
