belt vs shaft
hi all,
from what i've gathered, all the top/fast cars are belt-driven, why is this so?
somebody told me that a 'over-powerful engine' will stripped the differential gears of the shaft cars, true?
pls pardon my ignorance.

Science -- it's just the way it is 
It depends on how powerful the engine is and how strong the diff is in that particular vehicle

belt drive cars are much better to drive they handle better and the powerband is smoother shaft cars are a pain in the a$$ to drive

Tech Adept
The simple answer: The current "race" cars have all the advantages the TC3 had (mainly being smooth rolling) with none of the weaknesses (ie blown diffs, being fragile)
