dose the 2005 evo have traction control? thats what it feels like when i try to spin the wheels. if it does can it be turned off ?

 

It has an active center diff where you can change how it will react (tarmac, gravel, and snow). Other than that their really isnt much you can change. BTW you're prabably not going to get much wheel spin uot of an AWD car!

They all have "traction control" in a sense... and no, you're ****ed, but i don't see why you'd want to turn it off.

 

i just wanna be able to mess around in the snow when i drive up north

 

 

i live up noth you dont want to be able to shut off you "traction control". we dont have traction control anyway. we an active differential keep you from spinning, and gets the power to the ground which is what makes you go fast, not spinning. you want to "have some fun" leave the summer tires on in the winter, youll spin all day long and get nowhere. not to insult you but being from west palm you probobly arent a great winter weather driver, so do yourself a favor, get some snow tires and watch all the mustangs and camaros spin their tires while youre running circles around them. now thats fun

on a side note whats the difference between 4wd and awd. is it that 4wd has at least a front and rear differential while awd has only a center differential?

 

yeah i dunno why u would want to spin ur tires...the point is NOT to spin the tires and get as much traction...if u bought the car to do donuts then...shouldnt have gotten an evo.

 

Trust me...you don't have to adjust anything. You'll have fun in the snow.

 

actualy im from D.C and i sold my 2004 cobra and got an evo i have only been in west palm for a year

 

The stock advans have no problem helping the evo do donuts in the rain..... so if you want to do donuts in the snow , it shouldnt be an issue.

 

thanks for the input guys

 

Awd has 3 differentials, a center one, a front one, and a rear one.
4wd only has a front and rear differential. The split front to back is dead set at 50/50
