I have a ATS and I sell all of the rest. They are all great. You really can't go wrong with any of them.

No. Your speed is read at the transmission. Not the rear differencial.

Well do any of them own 2 way diffs? If they don't it is hearsay.

Internet - land of "my friend's cousin's brother's uncle's cousin's homeboy told me this"

They are also great for grip. Rember that fun thing called grip.

Damn I think everyone has forgot driving fast for times is still fun.

1.5 gear type would suit you best.

I have a friend with the Quaife 1.5 gear driven in his sohc 240sx. It is a blast to drive with.

Torque sensing and great for grip. He is doing great in autoX out here and is aiming for rookie of the year for 2004.
