I think the best part is the torque vectoring AWD. It really is special once you put the pedal down on some back roads.Being that I am still a HUGE fan of the Evo, this car strikes me so much as the modern day equivalent. I remember back in the day, people making up to 100whp more with boost, tune, and changing to E85. It seems Ford took the Evo formula, and made it a bit better, by offering adaptive drive modes, the ability to dyno out of AWD mode, and moving from a 2.0, to a 2.3, which is ironically the last mod most Evo (road racers) do to get the torque they want/need. I have been looking hard at these, and I think I will pick one up next year, when they come down a bit. I really can't justify another car right now, but next year, my daughter will be 14 almost 15, and she will need to start learning.
Basically it can send up to 70% of power to the rear. Engineers that built the system say in some instances, up to 95% is even possible.
Of that 70%, there are 2 electronic clutches, one for each rear wheel. The computer can then instantly decide 0-100% what wheel gets what power. So you could in theory get 30% to the front tires, and 70% to rear outside wheel to help power it through the corners
Another example.... Say you're driving in slushy/snowy roads. But the left half the road is clear, shoulder of the road half is slippery.
It will accelerate with minimal slippage and traction control intervention.
It can tell almost immediately that the driver's side rear has grip, but the passenger side rear does not.
If that makes sense
It's my daily so I'm cool with the 332/385, for now haha.
We may try 23psi and tweak the tune so it stops tapering boost up top. Maybe go for 345-350
