Cool link. What would be the best type for a sports car? what do the new mustangs use? Thanks again!

new ones come with a trak-lok it's a clutch type the bad issue with it,it wears out and needs new clutchs

I like torsens, I've owned clutch type, gear types, and the torsen
torsens have the best feel for me

as far as cornering I think that the torsen drives the most neutral

I vote for the torsen as well - for a sports car. For a drag car a locker would be better, but all around sports definitely the torsen.
