This sentence alone explains your understanding on this matter. Lets take the Evo 8 (03-04) for example. No computer controlled power distribution, no ACD, no AYC, etc. By your logic it is no match for a 350z (comparable by production year?) or 370z (modern RDW). Would you really like to put that theory of yours to the test? That reasoning couldn't be further from the truth.

AWD 100% of the time = under steer, under steer and some more under steer for a basic driver and a great challenge for a professional driver
Once again, false assumption. Where many AWD cars are notorious for understeer, it does not apply to every AWD car. In this case where we have been comparing Evo's I think you would be surprised how little understeer these cars have.

You're right it is, I guess that means it is also inferior than your 370z. Once again, care to put that to the test? It's a 10 year old AWD system, it should be no match for the modern RWD car that you drive.
