...and 13:1 compression ratio or thereabouts? :) The 8000 rpm probably also helps out quite a bit for the hp rating. At 850 hp, that would work out to 558 lb-ft of torque...still quite stout...

So what would you estimate is the result that is in your tank right, now? E20-ish? You are one daring Challenger owner! ;)

Ok, fair enough. I didn't know it was standard on the manuals. That doesn't change the point I was making that if you sought to pay for it as an extra option, you most certainly should verify that...

Consensus can be just as well be about misconception than any sort of fact. Consensus has no direct relation with fact. Fact is just fact, and either the consensus incidentally goes with it or...

Yes, and I said that I typically run with TC off, which means no E-LSD, either. When I say I can leave 2 black stripes, I mean I am leaving 2 black stripes entirely with an open diff...no electronic...

Did you miss the earlier point that was established in this topic? I'll leave 2 stripes with an open-diff just as well as you will with an LSD. There is no TC involved in this, at all. There is no...

I don't think you have picked up a single thing I've said. If both tires are hooked to the ground on a straight line launch, the open diff and LSD are going to behave EXACTLY the same on this car...

Always, the context of my remarks, has specifically been for street use and public street driving scenarios.

A taller 1st gear has nothing to do with addressing something about the diff being open. It's simply because I feel the 1st gear is needlessly on the short side, as far as being able to put down...

I think the point is evident that there are paltry few things that you can do with LSD in this car vs open-diff in this car, as far as actual, plausible driving scenarios. For the most part and for...

An experienced driver would not find himself in an "understeer condition" that needed a correction. :p It would be so the case, because he wanted it to happen.

Either way, power-oversteer is not...

Ok, you dedicated "road course" owners on greater than stock hp can herald the LSD that sits under your car! :p

I can say that even in a hard right hand corner while explicitly on-power (stock hp,...

Well, yes, I have been saying that all along! On an IRS vehicle, the left-to-right weight balance at launch is going to be "equal enough", that one tire slipping isn't really a problem. Maybe it...

Well, that implies a more "active" functionality than really exists for a passive LSD design. The power to the gripping wheel isn't going to be any different than if both tires were gripping. The...

I'm just talking about the composure of the car, as far as "balanced load". If it is sitting on both tires reasonably equal, then both tires are going to bite. There is no reason to believe...

If you have LSD and put one tire on a slippery surface, then you got half the contact patch, too. The tire that grips doesn't suddenly grow more traction capacity because it is LSD.

Both cars...

Ah, but the same applies for wet streets!...believe me, I've explored it. ;) Wet streets with an open-diff and a straight launch is still 2 wheel slippage (albeit, a squirmy take-off). I suspect,...
