It took a lot, and I do mean a LOT of work to get it that way. Working out the interaction between three differentials was quite the challenge. But it got us to the point where the driver could stop on the gas and the only thing that happened was the car accelerated.

That car won a metric assload of races. It was many things, but "slow" was not one of them.

Oh, and the clutch in that car lasted 7 seasons and as far as I know is still in the car. Notwithstanding 5500 rpm stutterbox clutchdrop launches (a minimum of 12 per event, and 16 was the average) the car was very kind to clutches. Centre diffs, not so much.
