if you have a locking differential then its no problem to go up there

1952 Jeep with a diff lock can do that.

here is the big heavy truck with only 2 wheel drive demonstrate this. LOL
start from 1.40 sec

the S-AWC is way better system the a honda SH-AWD. Besides the S-AWC is performance oriented not safety . Big difference.

sounds about right
safety vs performance
of course our system is pretty damn safe to say the least

I believe SH-AWD works pretty much the same way. It isn't able to vector torque front/rear, it has an clutch that is able to vary between full lock and full open, similar to what we have. The actual torque vectoring is in the rear diff only.
