I track the 3.55 track-loc for 5 seasons now over 20 track days and over 500 laps. I'm sure a torsen is better but I never seen the diff been an issue with my car. With the extra grip from the 305 tires the car is on rails and super predictable. Which is also the case in the Steeda Mach 1 since you have so much more tire and with 315/30/20 at the back the final ratio stays at 3.55 or very close to it so the shifts are longer and better without you having to change at the end of straights before braking zones. Even with less tire if the suspension is sorted out the car will move very little even on 275 street tires I have hard time sliding the rear end but this was the case even with stock suspension when I did a proper (toe in rear) alignment. Though my brother says that I broke the fun car which sounds like is Misha complain as well.I think it was commented that the gearing was ideal for the track ?
It was also commented (multiple times) that the car had 'lots' of grip which I should imagine negates some of the benefit of the torsen - maybe if the car had less tyre (as commented) so it moved around more (or a street tyre or more power / forced induction etc), the torsen would then become more of an advantage ?

I think all of us have something to learn from this lap and the build list.
