are our cars 50/50?

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gifI know this has been answered many times in this thread but I feel we should keep it going for the sake of nothing better to do.

exactly my thought. So I'll throw this out in the mix.

The Monte Carlo edition VR4's had a different split. So explain how it works?

^ Hatchback Coupler?

IDK.....Perhaps the center diff was a different style? Or maybe they translated the weight distribution wrong, and though it meant torque split?

open center diff like the cusco unit?

 

[Dialcaliper]

Almost definitely an open planetary design like the Cusco unit, if it did indeed have a torque split. Seems unlikely though. The Monte Carlo edition came out around the same time as the 3000GT VR-4 (1990 in Japan), which had a 45/55 split planetary differential. Granted, the design was different (diff and VCU are one unit in the 3kgt), but the technology was already in use at Mitsubishi.
