I've heard of the conversion being done on 911 turbos, but its not at the push of a button.

The SRT8 is modified and can switch, or was modified to be able to switch?

this involves an electronically switched clutch between f and r. i doubt this will improve anything other than gas mileage slightly and driving dynamics. having a 4wd is better for cayenne IMO.

I always thought that the SRT8's only come in 2WD. It would be very costly to add 4 wheel drive to it and then a center diff that you could disengage.
