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.

the actual #'s from front/rear (60/40, etc.) doesn't really matter to me, i just want to understand generally how things are different between generations and how that translates to real world driving experiences.
you maybe right on the "power' term... i'm not an engineer.... thanks for the clarification.
