[Fot] Quaiffe Versus Gripper -

[JOE CURRY]

I don't know what the "Gripper" is, but if it is anything like "Phantom Grip" that you add to a stock diff to create friction to "lock" the two sides, It doesn't work.  The Quaife works fine until you lose drive on one of the two sides and then it totally uncouples the diff from the drive train.  You end up pushing the car off the track.

I raced both this weekend at RA, and frankly don't notice any difference except in the pits or pushing the car. Bear in mind that neither us, nor our cars have ever been described as super-fast. I do notice the difference when racing my Bugeye with an open diff, as it lifts the inside rear and loses drive.
