Ruben do you really not understand why I say the EVO is AWD with training wheels
this is the first post ever that you have had that isnt terrible i can understand it and the sentences are pretty sound
congrats george
good job

active differential in the center diff doing the same work. It is distributing energy to where it is needed.
That is the same thing. The amount of input the driver makes, the active differential corrects.
A relatively new technology is the electronically-controlled active differential. A computer uses inputs from multiple sensors, including yaw rate, steering angle, and lateral acceleration and adjusts the distribution of torque to compensate for undesirable handling behaviors like understeer

EDIT - Ruben, try driving a 240z hehe. No power steering, no ABS. All car. All engine. All driver.

So if you don't understand what I am talking about, I will explain it to you in the simplest form possible. Its your EVO MR 6mt w/hids
There's a little doo hickey in there called AYC or Active Yaw Control
No matter what you do, the car will correct the driver error to a certain extent.
Active yaw control is a system that is aided by a computer-controlled rear differential that can actively split torque based on input from various inputs by the driver(acceleration, braking). It's very similar to ABS brakes however it affects the hydraulic clutches which limit the amount of torque on the individual axles. People typically confuse this set up with stability control systems ala Gran Turismo driving aids which smartens up the braking system of a vehicle by distributing brake pressure to certain areas or the individual wheels to rotate and slow the car. Supposedly AYC is a performance-oriented system but in the reality of things, its literally training wheels for a novice driver to make them feel supreme
Personally, I drive with no aids. My ABS is disabled, I don't have AYC. I like to work in my car which allows me to be one with it rather than having a foreign element mess up my groove when driving on a track.
You by far do not own a competition oriented model of the Lancer which is the reason why I say you drive a car that has AWD with training wheels.

Still picking on Ruben guys? Well you're right. Ruben's has the AYC, mine being an 8 though does not have the AYC so to quote someone else on here
