I remember someone posting about the difficulty in having this made for us.

Exactly how much demand would there have to be (how many units needed/desired) before they decide to invest in the R&D and make one for us?

compared to my other vehicles, powering out of tight corners w/ this car absolutely sucks. Decent acceleration on a snowy road/ even w/ Nokians.......fuhgetaboutit.

Since the tranny is essentially the same as the 4th gens, I'm sure we can come up w/ a decent number of people who would be interested in buying a Quaife.

Isn't the Quaife and "auto-stick"? Meaning, it is an automatic, but you can manually shift it, if need be.

I may be wrong, but doesn't Quaife make Limited Slip Diffs? That would preclude any sort of shifting talk whatsoever...

Autostick!!!!

What!! who wants an autostick?

:-)


Quaiffe differentials are a Torsen differential. Labeling it as a limited slip differential (LSD)is not entirely correct. Torsens are torque-sensing, so no slip is needed before the other wheel gets some power.

It essentially comes down to this, how many wheels do you want your power to reach the ground thru? 1 or 2?
