[QUOTE="Bill Koonce, post: 945981, member: 68938"] I've heard the vendors tout electronic controls as "the best", and I've heard pundits say that they're too slow to respond and disconcerting when they kick in. I'm with the pundits on this one. There's nothing faster to respond than a fully mechanical unit, and the Torsen exhibits no clunks or other distracting behavior. When used in conjunction with electronic traction control, the Torsen tends to catch the upsets and smooth them out before the traction control system starts to rumble. We all know that Ford was more concerned with the fallout and CYA from the roll-over accidents when they designed the Gen2. Some of the changes were great for the ST. Others not so great. And some omissions, like a traction adding differential option, were disappointing IMO. At least Ford has the aftermarket parts to let the owner DIY it into a better package. [/QUOTE]
