EDIT: The post above assumes on-road driving in all weather conditions except deep snow. Deep snow and off-roading would make me prefer a legitimate 4x4 with low range and three locking differentials (front, center, rear).
Nope, too much of a pain for performance driving, want to be able to put power down through a corner when it's dry. A Torsen that somehow also had the ability to be locked on driver demand would be perfect. On the 4x4 setup it might be nice though.Originally posted by: gogeeta13
You would probably prefer just a detroit locker type rear then..at a certain rpm it locks, otherwise its just like standard open diff. YOu gotta take turns in neutral(or clutch in) but other than that, they rock.Originally posted by: Zenmervolt

I have a VLSD, would rather have a 2-way helical though..

No offense but your poll is making my head hurt. I can't pick a single option on it. Can you clean it up? I can't imagine I'm the only one who's brain is melting by trying to choose one of those 6 options, many of which are not mutually exclusive.

Well I think FWD is _easier_ to drive (no oversteer, fish-tailing etc.) for the regular driver, and it's better in bad weather, but RWD is better from a performance standpoint! I picked FWD for its ease of control for most people.Originally posted by: Twista

I would rather Ricers not own RWD cars honestly. You see that vid where the kid tried to burn out and ends up going over the curb and into a parking lot, the tires didn't even really break loose.
