Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

oka, no prizes for the obvious answer which is "very well" but seriously, AIUI, 5% of the drive goes to the front wheels under normal driving conditions, but this can be increased to 40% in certain circumstances. i have it in my head that this only happens when the rears start to slip (i.e. when the rears are spinning faster than the fronts....think i read it somewhere). is this the case? if so, surely that should mean that it is significantly more difficult to power oversteer an AWD 996 than a RWD one. or is the car "cleverer" than that, detecting cornering G/yaw angle a la evos and scoobies etc?

I'm no expert in the technology, but everyone says the C2 is a 'purer' car to drive. I guess that means its easier to get the back end out - I know I can
