    Question on the AWD system

    Yep it's definitely heavier and increase mass will make it take longer to accelerate and stop. No argument there. However drag racing and panic braking are not my driving Style.

    Question on the AWD system

    Strange that people would get all-wheel drives then, I guess it's all a big sham. You might want to tell the many Performance car makers that their all wheel drive systems are not worth it. I have had better handling and performance with this all-wheel drive then I did my front wheel drive...

    fake sg1?

    Have you: 1. asked the seller? 2. emailed MNAO directly? 3. Call the phone number on the back of the bottle to reach MNAO directly? However if you do not believe either is genuine, what is going to help you?
