I know you said it doesn't really affect straight line ability, nor am I interested in this part for that purpose but:
I could kind of see this part allow more wheel power to be put down to the ground, or at least slightly quicker if you just step on it - or am I looking at this incorrectly?

Also, I'm not quite sure I understand how tuning the ACD does something like decrease the car's tendency to understeer - ACD controls the locking between front and rear wheels, so increasing the locking and speed of lock up does.. what exactly?
Is it that the increase in lock up is actually transferring more torque or useable torque to the rear wheels?
Hopefully other people had the exact same question and just didn't want to ask.... lol

More review notes:
I drove the car tonight to a local EVO meet and noticed that the car feels more like a rear wheel drive vehicle... especially thru the turns. I do notice that the car is easier to rotate, and once you take that turn, point the steering wheel in the dirrection you want to go and shoot.
I would love to go to an open parking lot or to a local airfield and push the car harder and see how it reacts..
