I read the archives on this but thought I should ask my
question to our present day listers...here it goes:

'88 80q- both front wheels on sheet of pure ice (read-no
friction). Both rear wheels on dry ground. Rear Diff.
unlocked. Car started up and put in gear and accelerator
pressed. What should happen in theory? Does the car move
forward? Do the front wheels just spin on ice? What
happens when rear diff. is engaged (locked)?

Just curious and a bit confused with the torsen system
of my car.
