I am wondering what the pro's and cons of the Torsen differential vs standard are? I saw on an americanmuscle video recently that the guy selected a non performance pack for a few reasons , one being brakes getting in the way of his plans (im assuming lightweight drag wheels) and also said the torsen differential would just get in the way.
Is the torsen worse than a standard differential for drag racing or more susceptible to wheel hop possibly? Just curious about your guys thoughts on the differences. I never had any problems with a standard LSD on my 2011 mustang or 2009 cts-v, the Torsen seems fine too so far, as far as I can tell. My 2003 GT had a weak rear diff and did 1 wheel peels at times, had to get it repaired and new clutch packs. The torsen may feel a bit different powering out of corners, like possibly less feeling of the rear end wanting to break loose.
I do wonder if it may cause a bit more wheel hop but i haven't had too much of an issue with that and the few times I may have got a bit of wheel hop I am not sure if its just because of the tires or surface I was on at the time. Ive also seen some standard LSD mustangs have wheel hop at times too though.
What would yall say the pros and cons of the Torsen vs the standard LSD are? The Torsen appears to be way more expensive. Is the standard LSD or torsen better for drag racing?
