Default Is it possiable

For a AWD car to launch and pull its front wheels off the ground?

it would depend on the front rear bias of the awd system and the suspension setup, but yes i would say it is possible

no, it wouldn't matter on the bias, just for a 50/50 bias you'd have to have an ASSLOAD of power

i would def. think it would matter on the bias, maybe not totally but it would most certainly come into play

yeah, it would make it easier, but then why not put 100% on the rear

it doesn't matter, but yes it would make it easier

EDIT: that says you don't kill the drivetrain on a launch that hard

so you're saying a car with a 90% front bias and a car with a 90% rear bias have the same chance of pulling the front wheels off the ground?

i don't even know where to start...

first you say it would make it easier (which means it would matter), then you say it doesn't matter, and then you say it would make it easier (which means it would matter). which is it?

so with enough power it is possiable even with a 50/50 system?

no, i said it would make it easier with a higher rear bias, but even if its got 90% front, if you have like....5K HP thats 500HP out back, and that'll lift it

i said it would be easier with higher rear bias, but wouldn't matter, as in its possible with a different bias, why are we having a symantec argument?
