[s-cars] RE: Interested in purchasing a rear diff

[Dave Ellis]

Is this true for both the pre-95.5 cars with the locking diff feature 
and the post-95.5 cars with the Quattro IV w/EDL system?

I seem to remember reading that the torsen diff (V8) was more beneficial 
to the post-95.5 cars than the earlier models.  I could be thinking of 
something else though.
