Not real sure where to post this so will give this a try.
Base question is why did Ford bring out a HP car with a single rear wheel diff?
In my extended experience over many years i have found a limited slip diff much more stable than a single wheel drive diff. Take a wet road take off as an example. Single drive diff "usually" will just power you in a straight line BUT on occasion i have had a very nasty "hook" effect usually to the left. In fact that was so bad in an EF wagon i got to the point i was actually a bit scared to do a wheel spin takeoff in the wet with this car. With a LSD i have found you can get a "fishtail" type effect which can get out of control but not nearly as quickly as with a single wheel drive diff. On the other hand i have driven many Fords with LSD rear ends and have never had this "hook" effect.
Last was with a highly modified Detroit locker setup. So am asking i suppose why did Ford put a single wheel diff in a top of the line performance car?
Thanks.
