Not sure about the front/rear 40/60 in 1st generation, I have heard 40/60 and 38/62, but not sure it matters.

Now, since you want to be precise, the more important issue is that you used the word power in your summary. Power does not equal torque. Scott27's very detailed explanation used the technical term torque. Power is a function of torque and speed. In the Gen 1 and Gen 2 AWD systems, all of the power sent to a specific axle can go to the non-braked wheel, but that will equate to half the torque, in this idealized example.
