RE: A New Look at Torsens

[C1J1Miller@aol.com]

OK, please clarify something for me.
Take a track corner, assume a perfect surface, repeatable line, steering 
angle, etc.
As you go through the corner, the torsen will distribute torque at some ratio 
between the front and rear axles.
In a straight line, equal distribution front rear.
while taking the corner, what will the ratio be?  
Must it be either 50/50, or 25/75, or 75/25? or can it be in between?
Is it a three-state device (rear 75/25 front, or front 75/25 rear, or equal 
50/50), or does it continuously vary the ratio?  My understanding was that 
the ratio would vary, and only on a full-lock turn would there be enough 
difference between front and rear wheels to go to full bias ratio...
If you take the same line at the same speed, same steering wheel angle, will 
the ratio always be the same?
