High Speed Camera and the 2010 Taurus SHO AWD System

[Unknown_Driver]

I took some footage with a camera i picked up dirt cheap a few days a go

it takes 1-2 rotations of the front wheels to Sync with the Rear wheels

Yep, very cool!!

It seems that they synched up more quickly in the last sequence. Better traction surface??

First the car looks great with those wheels. Second it does seem the surface dictates how quickly the rear wheels sync up.

Cool video, very interesting...thanks for posting!

Nice video.

if you wind up doing any other launch sequences like that for anything else, do the drag racer trick and paint a line on the tires w/ something. makes it much easier to watch for tire spin then starin at the spokes of the wheel

its a FWD Biased AWD car.

Shoe polish works great and comes right off.

Also looks like it's only front/back slip control and not side to side, working like an open rear end. Right front and left rear are spinning. Here's a link a thread on the AWD from 3/24/2010 http://www.shoforum.com/showthread.php?t=107563
