Great! Sounds like they need to update their website then cause it's still not up there... Maybe they're just too busy to keep up with their own business..

Riddle me this. Since we start with a LSD (though non locking and electronic control) we have the benefits of a lighter system, better adaptability to different conditions and more applicable to independent suspension cars. What we lose is 50% of torque IF we're on a multi-Mu surface, that is one side is slipping other has traction.
Now, that can happen when busting backside on a track, or multi mu surfaces - for the multi mu condition, I'll cope. And I don't track... so other than the massive amount of hype - what's everyone so up in arms about? If I'm missing something that will make this car fly .5 secs faster to 60 or 100 - I'm all ears. If it will handle better, fantastic. But what will it REALLY do for YOU?
Thanks in advance for some explanations!

Well, that was JP and Tiff riding it on a track - so again, my comment stands - other than driving like an a$$ on the street or being on a track... what's it good for? Also - remember the Benz has more torque than the M3 - so the tires are likely to be shredded faster no matter what in spirited driving.
Now the torque and speed are great for having on the street - win races one stop light at a time, but if you are driving S's on the street between cars, you're going to the clink.
