I know that you have a business interest in Quaife, and are trying to get a
Group Buy together, so what else would you say!! I see that you read the
marketing material quite well!!
Quaife = limited-slip. Effect is the same, just done a different way. Quaife
(and Torsen) use the "fancy words " to justify the price. When you get to
Madison, ask me about the old "vase" joke.....it applies in this situation.

The torque biasing effect of the Quaife makes it a lot more then your
average limited slip differential.
Given that most of the power will be transmitted to the wheel with the most
grip during a throttled turn, you are allowed to maintain throttle through a
turn, without the worry of sacrificing your life
Drive a Quaife equipped car on an onramp at part throttle... The more
throttle you apply, the better/ tighter the car feels.
IMHO, it's the first mod that should be done to any manual transmission SHO,
but then again, I know what you think of MHO.
