Like a CVT, an HSD transmission continuously adjusts the effective gear ratio between the engine and the wheels to maintain the engine speed while the wheels increase their rotational speed during acceleration.

During heavy acceleration, weight is shifted to the back, improving traction at the rear wheels at the expense of the front driving wheels; consequently, most racing cars are rear - wheel drive for acceleration.

Performance goes up: When you punch the accelerator pedal in a rear - wheel - drive vehicle, the weight transfers to the rear end, just where you want it during acceleration.
