The quaife, unlike all others, has what many call "yaw control"
As some who's raced a number of cars (both FWD and RWD) with Quaife differentials, I am curious what you are referring to as "yaw control." I was just on the phone with Mark Ortiz regarding another subject and I asked him about the term. He's curious too. I do know of "Active Yaw Control" and that's done with electronically controlled active differentials (ECAD) and the Prelude SH was one or the first production cars to use this tech.

Does your term "yaw control" refer to the designed in torque distribution of the Quaife? If so, how does it control the yaw rate of the chassis different from a CLSD with some set lockup (80% lets say)?

I'm not challenging you, I'm just curious because I've never heard therm used with a passive differential.
