[s-cars] V8 rear diff swapped to replace the front diff in a 6 speed trans?

[chris chambers]

Thanks for the input, with my limited understanding of these
diffs I couldn't understand how there would be any improvement.

My understanding is that swapping in a V8's rear diff into an S4 in
place of the stock rear diff is an improvement, unless you are drag
racing atleast.

Thanks
Chris
