    Default 1998-2001 Subaru Impreza 2.5rs AWD drivetrain power distribution?

    Okay so I have been searching the drivetrain power distribution for a 1998-2001 Subaru 2.5rs and I cant find the specs anywhere. I heard it was 65% front-35% rear, but I am not certain. Do any of you guys know?

    Life begins at 6000 RPMS.. You will notice an audible change in engine noise, large increase in acceleration and any female passengers will immidiately start to remove their clothing.

    It very much depends on whether you have an Automatic or Manual. The Manual version is 50/50 most of the time, but has a viscous coupling center differential which will transfer power from whichever end of the car has least traction. The Automatic typically is a 90 front/10 rear and only transfers power back to the rear wheels when the front wheels slip or during heavy acceleration.

    All of that info can be found online just by looking up technical information from Subaru themselves describing the all-wheel drive systems.
