... overall a rather cogent document IMO ... there was one detail I
noted ... the ABS based EDL function does not allow you to send 100% of
the torque to the wheel with grip ... an open diff always splits torque
50-50 ... so whatever torque is going to the wheel with grip is also
going to the wheel being slowed by the ABS ...

IMO, I didn't see that many differences of opinion on the way the V8
works ...
