Hey I just talked to C55asleep this morning. He asked me to post this question
He took his C55 to Moroso last night. He claimed he was having issues getting traction? ( excuse my grammar, I was in the can when explained this to me and was thinking of other things) He claimed that the right rear wheel spun more than the other. Would a Quaife differential prevent this? Is it worth the investment?

By the way he says he got a 12.4 @ 112mph. He will post the timeslip when he gets to a computer.

I'm so glad I spelt Quaife the right way instead of Qu**f.

I'm off to to take my citizenship test.

Thanks Drew for post. I think i am going to get the Quife if I want to break into the 11's. When I washed the car the right side had a lot more rubber than the left. Off the line I had to play with the throttle and I had nitto drags on there but it kept breaking loose. Sorry for the rough number i thought I was going todo better with drags. Maybe after the Quife installed i can manage that great number i am looking for. Tonite i will post a pic of the time slip.
