I see a difference, but not huge.

But then the ABS is also going to kick in to slow the front wheels down too.


BTW when the front wheels spin the torsen sends more power to the wheels with the least resistance not to the wheels that have the most traction. That is how the torsen works and the reason our cars go nowhere when one of the front axles snap.

based on what you said...that would make on-throttle understeer WORSE...or does that only apply to when there is ZERO resistance? I was always under the impression that as long as there is some sort of resistance, Torsen will send power where needed (i.e. to the rear exiting a corner while applying throttle)

Mr. Head

"TBR or Torque Bias Ratio, represents the "locking effect" of the differential. Specifically, it indicates how much more torque is sent to the high traction wheel (or axle) than is sent to the wheel with less traction. For example, a differential with a TBR of 4:1 sends 4 times the available torque that the wheel can maintain. In the example below, 80% of the total available torque goes to the higher traction, slower spinning wheel. "

at either end of the car so the torsen sends the power to where it is setup to do so. This is why changing the % that goes to the rear helps when road racing.

Mr. Head

0 x ?? = ZERO

Having a wheel in the air is a different situation than spinning the front wheels.

In spinning the fronts, there is still an amount of resistance that exists in the fronts that gets differentiated back to the rear.
