Hi all,

Feel like an idiot but here goes....

Could someone please explain to me what a Limited Slip Differential is and what the ratios mean?

Cheers

Cale.

Here is a link to a description on diffs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited_slip_differential

The ratio is the gearing from input to output. 2.95:1 will mean fewer revolutions for a given speed than a 3.76:1 the higher ratio will give quicker acceleration, but a lower top speed, and vice versa.
