In the GS, you can actually feel the front rubber grabbing for traction, extending and reaching out to maximum suspension travel to pull

With about 70 percent of torque going to the rear wheels, the clutch packs can push up to 100 percent of that rear torque to either rear wheel, usually the outside rear wheel to help push
