Xdrive vs RWD for hole shots on the road and track?

Stopsign32v · 09-18-2019, 07:53 AM

Well I'm trying to decide RWD or Xdrive.

From a launch control on the street and track is it night and day between the two?

How reliable is the Xdrive?

Unless you have R compounds or a well prepped drag strip, XDrive is going to be faster off the line every time and it gets crazier if you have XHP flash with even more aggressive launch control values.

That's what I figured

In terms of the reliability, you might want to search some of the threads on T-case issues...

If i felt knowledgeable enough about them to describe, then i would. All i know is that i ran across a thread talking about it. I am RWD so i just read it and moved on.

Infact, here, i did the search for you. Read the links contained here:

Why not both? XDelete just released for f series, I disable xdrive for the summer and turn it on for the winter.

Exactly, why not have the best of both worlds with xHP
