Anyone else have a compulsive need to read everything that has anything to do with the new RS, regardless of how redundant the info can be? I know I can't stop...

Good read. Looks like C&D is pretty excited about it as well.

I like the first comment mentioning that its basically FWD until theres slippage. That could mean some decent mpg's as well. Fingers crossed.

I think a lot of people are pretty excited about it. My facebook news feed is still full of stuff about the RS. Not that I mind... Lol!

At first that bothered me because there are a lot of cars that are FWD biased that send power to the rear when slippage is detected but they fall tremendously short when compared to AWD systems such that are found in Subarus and in the EVO's. However, I think the RS AWD system is the best of both worlds with its ability to transfer power to individual wheels as well instead of just simply back and forth.

+ "drift mode" I think there may be some sort of lock on the power to the rear in that one.
