To be honest... I'm not 100% sure... the one shop that runs them is pretty secretive about it... here is a link to one of their cars if you want to see it... They wont even let him post pictures of the new manifold I believe. Its nuts haha, how secret they are being about a "dead" GM platform like the Cobalt. I am pretty sure they are using a stock ECU with modified programming via HP tuners dual injectors are not stock. They are simply using them to get enough ethanol in the cylinders. The factory turbo cobalts have direct injection (LNF engine), the factory supercharged cobalts (LSJ engine) have standard port injection. Everyone uses HP tuners for domestics it seems like.

In the article, they say that there will be lsd only for the sportier version whitout the rear-seats. Damned thats very sad. Hope they will offer a lsd as an option in the basic car.

Forgive my ignorance but can anyone tell me the difference is between a mechanical LSD and a Torsen LSD?
Thank you |

Still a little confused, The article states that a Torsen is a torque sensing mechanical diff. So what is the advantage of a non torque sensing diff?

If you lose 100% of traction on one drive wheel a torsen transfers 0 torque to the other wheel. This is rarely a problem though unless you like jumping the car a lot around corners or offroading. Maybe in extremely slick ice too.

Basically if you are in an extremely tight turn and lift a wheel, you won't get power until the wheel touches down again, similar to an open diff. As long as you have some traction on the wheel that is slipping it will transfer some percentage of the torque to the opposite wheel, meaning when you are powering out of a turn the power will shift to the outside wheel. You can "fake" it by pulling up the ebrake, not so much to lock up the wheels but enough to give some resitance for the diff to push against. A mechanical locking diff will actually sense differences between the shaft speeds and apply a certain amount of lock to try and equalize them, so it will still work if one wheel is lifted.
