More on Torsen center diffs...

[audidudi@delphi.com (Jeffrey J. Goggin)]

This past weekend, I took my 200q up to the Prescott National Forest, found
a freshly graded road and did my best impersonation of a ProRally driver ...
what an amazing experience drifting through corners at 70-80 mph with
half-a-turn of opposite lock on the steering wheel!

Anyway, one thing I quickly noticed is how well the car behaved ... tap the
brakes to set the front, turn in smartly then nail the throttle.  Whereas
the car consistently understeers on pavement, it was fairly neutral driving
on dirt and oversteer was only a stab of the throttle away ... something
tells me the Torsen diff is responsibile for this remarkable behavior and I
intend to investigate this further.  If only I could get the car to be this
responsive on pavement ... WOW!  :^)
