oh yea, i forgot to mention, that if one wheel (the left wheel, i believe) is off the ground or just not getting traction (on ice), the car will go nowhere. This is because the road resistance provides the preloading action for the spring. If you find yourself in that situation (going nowhere on ice), all you have to do is hold the brake slightly while on the gas. This will provide enough resistance to get the necessary load on the spring. The racing version of the Torsen cost an extra $200 bucks, but it has built-in preload... for track racing situations where one rear wheel might momentarily come off the ground around a hard corner. This way you dont loose acceleration.
