I wonder how much faster the car is when in 2wd mode in a straight line, we need a 60-130 
run on two stock or similar moded cars. I have heard you get 6% more power to the wheels in the 2wd mode.

The car is definitely faster in RWD mode. It is not any harder to drive though.
I will say the car has better grip in RWD with new PS2s than it it did in AWD mode with the old factory Pirellis. The pirellis were serioulsy spinning in 1st and 2nd in AWD mode.

I had speed gallery do it. Three bolts on one side and slide off the spline on the other.... voila!
BTW I've heard 150 LB too. The only diffrence between a GT2 and a TT is the rear seats, front drivetrain and PCCB (in terms of weight).
GT2 = 3175
TT= 3480
The difference is 305 pounds! maybe 200 lb for the drivetrain is not far fetched!

Sorry guys, but what exactly is the "stub axel" ? Also, I saw on the part list that the GT2 has LSD, what will happen if you run the TT transmission without LSD , will it be more stress to the transmission ?
Thanks
Thanks
