Of the type that Taka was talking about, a true VC
differential - VW Synchro, Diablo VT, Porsche 993/996
C4 and Turbo, Volvo 850 AWD ... these drive like 2wd.

Of the type that I was talking about, a VC
differential lock - Celica AllTracs/GT4s, Subaru
(Impreza and Legacy), Mitsubishi Lancer, Escort
Cosworth, Delta Integrale, Bugatti EB110.
