[urq] Mark Komanecky?

[Pasqualoni, James E]

Just about any car with a transversely mounted motor that is AWD uses the
Haldex system these days.  See VW, Volvo, etc.  The nice thing about Haldex
is that they now make a programmer which lets the driver decide the
'baseline' distribution of torque between the front and rear wheels.  I have
read that a number of 'Dubbers are using this on their R32's.  Pretty cool.

It seems that many more modern AWD systems work in a similar manner. 
I am specifically thinking of the Haldex system in the VW R34 as I'm typing
this, but I know that there are a number of other AWD cars out there that
are essentially FWD till the grip starts to get bad.

hte car is front drive till the diffs are locked in. Mostly they seem to
think that because of the understeering character of the car.
