you sure about that?
i don't think the 9-2X gets a torsen differential.

DRIVETRAIN
Transmission: 5-speed manual
Final-drive ratio: 3.90:1, limited slip
4-wheel-drive system: full time with a viscous limited-slip center differential
also, my brother's car is an automatic. i don't know about the WRX,
but other subaru automatics get a computer controlled clutch LSD center
differential.

a little surfing indicates the STi and legacy spec. B have torsen
_rear_ differentials, but i can't find any other subies with torsens at
all. none have torsen centers.
