Subject: Re: The differential debate
Hello,
I am not sure what the difference is bbetween a detroit locker
LSD and the clutch type I have on my car. But I never really notice the LSD
on my car unless I am trying to do burninouts on wet ground or am REALLY
screaming around a corner. I have stock wheels with taller I believe 70
series
tires and 5th on the freeway is no problem. IF you are REALLY going to be
mostly driving around town then it does not really matter cause you will
jsut
shift up another gear.
Though maybe cause of the taller tires I have a 4.0 final drive
or something like that cause for me zooming on the freeway is really only
4200rpm's and thats pretty darn zooming.
