Keep in mind, it only mimics a limited slip using the brakes. Mechanically, the Focus ST has a 100% open differential. These systems can work "okay" on the street, but I've always found on track they are quite awful. In addition, you have a system that's heating the brakes all the way through corner exit which obviously this degrades pad life and worse can lead to brake fade even with dedicated track pads.

Damn right
