So, I don't keep up with the latest auto tech (I'm a computer geek, minoring in gearhead-ology). From my youth in the mid '70s, when we
talked about an open differential, we were talking about a drive line
where only one wheel was connected to the rear end, and the other spun
freely, never ever getting any power. Anytime a car had a drive line
where power could be shifted from one wheel to the other was lsd, and
when power was constant to both wheels it was a locker.

So, when I see and hear that both wheels on the SRT-6 can be powered,
it doesn't matter much to me that braking is used to equal out the traction. If the differential is open, and I by no means have the knowledge
to say one way or the other, then how can both wheels get power? If both
wheels can drive the car, then how does this not qualify as an lsd, however
it is achieved?
