One day my perfect car will be born.
Probably because DSC is programmed to not send power to the front unless it really think it's needed. The car is supposed to behave like RWD most of the time.
WRX is FWD base sending as much as spare power it can to the rear, but never more than 50% due to the tiny diff in the back end.

Reprogramming when the clutch pack kicks in for the E9x is probably out of reach for most people. Skyline GT-R and GT-4 series used the same exact setup and they didn't send power to the front all the time either.
