Interesting they didnt have taller diffs available, for a bit more punch off the line.


Have seen golden bonnet stars and boot badges on cars and just thought it was people runing their cars.

My understanding the factory 6.9 LSD diff was around 3.27?

Absolutely! Tacky, tasteless, cheapening. Makes a Benz look like a genitally-challenged hoon's Honda!

Whats a "Gleason-Torsen" diff?  I would LOVE a 3.06 dif in my car - sounds perfect combination of off the line sprint speed and highway cruising!
