[s-cars] quattro - no substitute

[Theodore Chen]

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.
