Yup, been running one for quite some time now, well over a year.
Here's the skinny on them:

Have a well sorted suspension. You do not want to get lift the inside tire as then it'll get all squirrely. And you especially need to be mindful of heavy braking. If I'm slowing from 130 at near lock on slicks then I can get the rear end to continuously shift between the right and left, it's a funky experience but nothing a little knowledge ahead of time can't compensate for. As for cornering, I love it, I can be more power-on. The car became more fluid in character with it.

I would rock it for drag racing definitely.

It's odd to explain, but unlike a dead set 50/50; you'll have continuously varying torque to maximized the torque distribution; so you'll get the most efficient use of the torque you throw to the rear. It'll throw a hair bit more torque to the passenger side at launch and then it'll redistribute as needed. just toss in and go.

Absolutely, I think you'll really enjoy it. I can't recommend them enough.

It's seeing the viper units that reminded me to check into Quaifes for the vette (I used to run porsches and I *loved* the quaife in it). I always thought the ATB was for foreign makes. Unitrax I think sells complete rears with them, I never heard about them until well after the fact.
