If this is what I think it is then it is something mainly used for drag racing. It in a sense melds the two axles into one, hence both wheels will turn at exactly the same rate all the time. Example: When you turn a corner the outside wheel can only turn as fast as the inside wheel so it will have to "hop" to catch up with the inside wheel. This isn't something you'd want for your daily driver at all. But if you have a car that only drives to and from the drag strip and does its main work there, then this is an option for you. This isn't a "limited slip" diff its pretty much a "no slip" differential, heh. Hope that helps!

That would be a drag spool, not intended for street use AT ALL.

Meant to go in a straight line, thats it. You wouldn't be able to drive on the street at all with that in your car, thats why you see the turbo4/hotrod/proFWD drag cars needing a huge turn around area, they have an enormous turning radius due to the locked diff.
