Tarmac--Gravel--Snow ??
I have a 05 Evo VIII. It has the push button thing for these 3 settings. The owners manual is kind of a joke and doesn't really tell you anything about the 3 settings.
I have searched the forum but have not really found answers.
My question is what does the car do differently when in these settings? I have heard that Gravel puts more to the rear wheels but the person who told me this wasn't really sure.
My main concern is autocross. Are any of the settings other than Tarmac something that I should try?
Thanks
Jim H.

Don't switch from Tarmac while autocrossing unless it's wet - then use Gravel.

"The Mitsubishi, on the other hand, never sends the majority of engine torque to the rear axle. Instead, it can send all the engine torque to the front wheels or 50 percent of it (using an electrohydraulic clutch on the center diff). So the Evo varies the front-to-rear torque split between 100/0 and 50/50. In addition to the yaw-rate and throttle-position sensors, the Evo has a steering-wheel-angle sensor that also provides the computer with information." - C&D

There was a full artical in C&D about the ACD system (I have it somewhere at home). The subi shifts more to the rear v. our 50% at most to the rear.
