Look up racing videos with STIs, EVOs, A4/6s etc and look at what happens when they snap ONE axle out of their four. Cars can't move at all even with the torson center because of how a diff works.
That's why the have lock modes on off-road variants. Think of it this what instead.....why on earth would they ever offer a locked 50:50 mode on these cars when the torson van normally vary 30:70 depending on traction? If your theory was correct then a lock would DECREASE wheel torque to the end that does still have traction since 70% is greater than locked 50%
Think about that and realize what I have been trying to tell you the whole time.
Once again my W12 has a crown diff. Not a torson.

Im going to keep it for a while but not forever. Another year or so max.

It’s just that nothing lasts forever, if I keep it until November of 2025 it will have 75k miles on it, I will be ready for something different. I’m kinda ready for something different now there just isn’t anything that screams to me I have to have it. I like the 7 a lot I’m just not sure I like it better than what I have yet.

So this is the spec 760 I would get. Carbon Black (which is like a really dark metallic blue). Only difference is I would get the executive package to get the crystal headlights

Not bad. Front is ok still. Not as ugly as that video. They look better in person. I like the seats that have some contrast

Also let me add that pulling over on an interstate is (obviously) dangerous... I got my *** right out of the car and off the asphalt into the grass when I realized there was nothing I could do and just had to wait. I've seen so many wrecks where pulled over vehicles get hit.

Agreed. I almost got carbon black in my X7 but I like that color with the Tartufo interior (saddle brownish color). The carbon black hides some of the funky lines on the front bumper.

Good choice, Striker! I always liked those being an old Pontiac guy, but found that the front legroom is lacking for me.

This particular car is very nice and low mile, it was the most pleasurable experience I've had to date working on a GM. Nothing at all fought me.
