torsen in Coupe GT?

[auditude at get.net]

It's possible that he meant a Quaife, because anything's
possible, but I'm positive he was talking about a less
expensive "torsen" diff from another Audi model.  We discussed
it a bit, as the idea interested me.

If it's not possible, then he didn't know it.  He definitely
was talking about a stock Audi part tho'.

I'm thinking that it'll come out that a V8 diff can be used in
a fwd Coupe GT tranny.  I guess it would be the V8's rear
diff, but used in the tranny for the Coupe GT.

[btw, sorry for that somewhat hacked prior post, saying that
the 016 box was like the 016 tranny, or some similar
nonsensical typing]

Later,

Ken
