Thinking these questions could help others to make an informed decision:

Based on this marketing claim "One of the known shortcomings of a typical torque biasing differential is its loss of drive (behaving much like an open diff) under zero or near-zero torque conditions (for example, when there is 'no-load' applied through the drivetrain, either at vehicle stationary and/or transition from engine driving vehicle to engine braking and back)."

#1 - Is the Wavetrac unit better suited to slippery road conditions than the other dual purpose "major" diff competitor?

#2 - Being one of the lowest cost offering out there, how does the Wavetrac hold up to the abuse at track lapping events, comparatively to competitors?

#3 - How stable is the Wavetrac entering curves and exiting them while putting the power down, comparatively to competitors?

#4 - How is the noise (clicking when load is applied/removed). Any whine noise at constant highway speeds?

#5 - Is a yearly diff fluid swap the only maintenance an owner will need to plan for?

Thanks for your excellent support!
