[ba] Re: [V6-12v] question about the infiniti G35x

[sub]

Quick answer the Quattro that is used on A4 and up uses a torsen for a 
center diff. Torsen stands for tork-sensing.  Meaning that the power is 
sent to the wheels that are harder to spin. 

This is the best system (imho) because the wheels with traction 
immediatly (real time) get the power, as opposed to any other cloutch 
system where the system has to sence that a particular wheel slips a1/2 
or a 1/4 turn and then the power is diverted. 

Also the feel of a car with a torsen is more uniform.

I drove a Subaru, that has a cloutch system, and it felt more like a 
front wheel drive car, untill there was significantly slippery.

On the other hand my 1993 90 Quattro and 2001 A4 Quattro both have a 
much more neutral feel, and you can easily feel that when cornering hard.

PS: I also heard that the triptonic gear box that Audi uses is a lot 
more responsive in manual mode than the gearbox that acura uses.
