I'm with you all the way Dave, 'cept YOU posted the "known" shortcomings of
VC's not hours before Dave L posted that Bincliff was "known" to use that
exact differential.  Tom Nas and you both are correct in saying that audi
"documents" t*rsens as one of the many diffs that they might even maybe
possibly coulda (probably never), used.  However, here is a direct reference
to what Bincliff DID choose to use, and Phil's personal experience is that of
no diff at all (which by definition, is a permanently locked diff).  So,
instead of accepting that audi "offered" torsen, how 'bout some credible
documentation that they indeed did.  If Bincliff used VC, wonder what Biela
used?  Right now Dave, we could ck the archives on the torsen debate and find
you prominently on the torsen "track".  Right now, we have good documentation
that at least one of the main drivers of the A4 uses VC, another no diff at
all, both devices that aren''t nor ever were, offered to us street folk.
Unlike the audi documentation, us silly street drivers (including the no
handers) don't get a choice, never did.  Up to 1988 you got locker, post 1988
- today you got/get torsen.  Wouldn't the brochures whack Volvo and scoobie-
doo's if we had the choices (in ALL three diffs no less) of our preferred
poisons?  

Yep, that's gonna happen.  With all the "known" shortcomings you posted Dave,
why would Bincliff be so successful using one on a track.  I think the answer
is pretty easy...
