Do they?
ah. I thought we were talking about values on the 350/370/NISMO.
They sound good to me.

Can imagine if I had kept my '68 AMX what it would be worth now. Was a rare car when I had it.

Is there a quick explainer on how the awd system works on the Corolla? actually, I'm curious in general how an awd system/diffs can be set up to send a specific amount of torque to the front or rear.

ie the evo system is always 50:50 and the acd will manage the lockup, which will more or less send more torque to the wheels that have more traction, correct?

how does a system be set up to constantly supply 60/40, 50/50, or 30/70 on command?

just watched it, very very interesting. more akin to haldex, but with a speed differential used to control torque split engagement. it sounds actually just like the focus rs system.

very very different to the awd systems on our cars, where all wheels get power all the time and the acd only controls the lockup between the axles.

yep, system almost identical to the RS with the overdriven rear, and yep - same weaknesses too:
