Jim Russell Evo School Review
Third party review of the school. Everyone who reads this forum should make a pilgrimage to the U.S. EVO Mecca.
Just so you know up front I DO work there

Also I have an 8 at home and drive the 10's at the school, the technique difference is much more subtle than you imply and really shown and obviously felt in just one exercise (the 10 let's you commit to throttle slightly harder and sooner coming out of the corner).
On the Auto-X or Track you drive them pretty much identically. We do talk specifically about the torque vectoring differential and how if affects technique and give the students the "don't try this in your own car" talk to cover our bases but again the way we teach it is really a non issue
sorry for the ramble!

The way we teach is "car type agnostic" our teaching working in anything from FWD to RWD to AWD (or more accurately nose heavy to neutral to tail heavy cars because that make a bigger difference than which wheels are driven) so your covered there.

no, not at all, i appreciate your input with that. i was somewhat wondering aloud how helpful a school like this would be for me, having a IX without AYC. aside from the more planted feel etc the biggest different probably would be the AYC, which is why I was wondering. One other reason is that I just recently purchased a Cusco 1.5 way RS diff for the rear, which is supposed to allow me to do just that (throttle harder and sooner for corner exit)
