Yeah I actually read this back in December before I bought mine. When guys I know aren't familiar with them I always send them this article by Jason Cammissa.
You guys might know he's the motortrend guy who does the "head 2 head" and "ignition" on youtube, which are great videos.

Remember, a 55-swapped C43 won Matt Farah's "2016's Best Daily Driver under $50k" award. It was fellow forum member Alex's car. It's just a stock 43 with a 55 motor.
The 43 was a heavily underappreciated car when it premiered. I'm considering getting yet another one so I can have 2 again!

I dunno, differentials have always confused me, i know there is open, 1 way, 1.5 way, etc. but i dont think the C43 has the type of diff where you would get one tire fire. I think the author was experiencing what happens powering out of corners if you leave the ESP turned on.
