Default Differentials?

If you had to pick a differential for the drag strip for your car to get the best performance what would it be? No spools please!!!!!!!!!

Auburn
Torsen
and the list goes on. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

Torsen because it's cheaper. The first thing to go will be your pinion teeth or maybe bearings. The differential is not the weak point. Plus Torsen doesn't wear out like Auburn. I had both, they're about the same on the street.

If your gonna stick witht the 10 bolt and keep your 3.23 gear set, then probably Torsen will handle the abuse just fine, especially since you have an A4.
