Limited slip / TRACS 850 96

There is no limited slip differential on 850/S70 models. The TRACS option is controversial to say the least. Suffice to say:

- It works at speeds up to 25mph.

- It uses the ABS hydraulics and electronics to control the front wheels such that they spin at the same speed. That is, you are permitted to spin the tires, but TRACS attempts to make both front wheels spin at the same rate.
