Re: If you had a 400HP engine........
The real problem with the more agressive split of the 04-05 transmissions is that it forced Subaru to dial in tons of understeer when off power. The 04 doubled down on this with the rather dangerous front diff. Nothin says fun like a diff that goes from pulling the front to the inside of a corner quite hard, to pulling quite hard to the outside if you need to counter steer. Which might be needed since the hyperactive front diff can pull the front of the car into a much tighter line than the back till you are going to have a nice highspeed off on the inside of the corner. So some drivers would get in trouble, quickly switch to countersteering and in an instant do a 4wheel drift into the outside ditch.
Haven't tried the newer transmissions, but one reason I like the more agressive powersplit of the 04-05 is that you can dial it out with the center diff. You can't dial in more with it.
