So this is to say that the viscous coupling in my center diff (front and rear open) means that I can't put a aftermarket LSD into my front or rear diff if I wanted to do STU? Or does a viscous coupling not count as a LSD (it doesn't in my book

).

Unfortunately the standard WRX gets screwed in ST trim as it can't add any mechanical diffs to even up the playing field with the STi.

Well good thing I didn't have any intention of running STU....need money for a DSP e36

No disrespect for Zach, but you have in times past, beat him (the STR NCAC champ in a cheater S2000) pretty handily in your terribly prepped STR car

(what CS car with seats and street tires

).

What, next you're going to tell me that driver skill has something to do with autocross performance! :lol:

Seriously though, I think I'm driving my car 2-3 seconds worse than what it's capable of (or more). As much as I want to do more power mods to make it more STR-prepped, I'm not kidding myself that improving my driving ability will do much more for my competitiveness than any mechanical improvements to the car. What I'm trying to say is this: saying someone beat me isn't exactly a fair argument in the context of a car classing discussion.

I agree, I was just joking with you and Dustin.
