Backdraft Drivetrain

I have to disagree here. The differential supplied with the car is the standard differential that comes standard in the suspension package used in the car. It's not "A Problem" that needs fixing. It's one of the items that allows the car to be priced as it is. I've driven or raced at least 2 dozen BDR cars and I personally believe that the 80/20 stock diff is very addiquate for putting power down. Both tires pull.

Hello from Guadalajara, Mexico. You'll have to excuse my ignorance on this issue (to make it worse I had a few Margaritas this evening).

So what I'm hearing is that with the standard rear suspension - I'll be able to spin both rear tires during WOT acceleration. Maybe I'm having trouble with this because I've never had a car that only spun one wheel during a burnouot (that would be awkward and seriously suck). Also, when I was given a test ride in a BDR while visiting the facility in Boynton Beach, I was a passenger and Frank Dodd was driving. Then again, I wouldn't have pushed the BDR even if I had been driving because it had a new engine in it (maybe they should have a demo that's been broken in for clients to try out).

When you refer to the 80/20 stock differential, does that mean that 80% of the power is transferred to one wheel and 20% to the other?
