[s-cars] V8 Torsen Diffs

[Joe Pizzimenti]

Could be the tire you're using, also.  Keep in mind that the Subie
makes more torque than your Audi did and has it available most of the
time, so throttle control is a little trickier, especially given the
shorter wheelbase.  Have you played with the center diff adjustments
yet?
