The 4 wheel drive must make a huge difference to getting the power down.
Really nice looking car.

Seriously though, it's about knowing what it will do when you cross the line. From what I remember of the early 4WD systems they are great up until the point you lose adhesion then all hell breaks loose! A car limits day would be the best way to find out. I found out that I couldn't "drift" the Marlin like I could an Escort on the road and went through a hedge backwards No damage thankfully but that was more by luck than judgement!
