I finally did it!

Postby quake2015 » Fri Nov 07, 2008 9:14

Hey Everyone,

As you may remember, when I joined the club I was still in the process of getting a MS6. Well, tomorrow is the big day that i pick it up :D I got it from the Sill Terhar Motors in Broomfield. I wanted to let everyone know that the guy that used to work there, Nick, is no longer there. He was replaced by a new guy that knows of the CMZC. His name is Jared.

I was wondering if anyone knows about one feature the car has. This is from a website review of the car:

"An all-new active-torque-split all-wheel-drive system also plays a part. The system incorporates real-time input data to determine road surface and driving conditions, then selects between Normal, Sport and Snow modes to provide the most power and traction. In Normal mode, power is applied to all wheels, with the majority of the power headed to the front. During heavy acceleration, Sport mode takes over, transferring 50 percent of the torque to the rear. In Snow mode, traction to all wheels is maximized."

I was wondering if the car has a selectable mode like say an EVO with the sport modes, or if it is automatic and the computer does it based off traction at the time?

Congrads on the new car. Get some pics when you pick up the car.

Congrats on the car. I looked at it but found a cleaner example elsewhere. I just picked mine up this last weekend. Same color.

To answer your question, there is no selectable mode. The review is misleading.

the active torque split is automatically done, there are no switches or settings (unfortunately)

I had buttons in the Saab to switch modes.
