I've argued both sides of this issue. I was very much in favour of opening diff rules last year and on the opposite side this year. My feeling is, no matter how many other logical or illogical points are made, that if the 06 was still able to easily compete in the current environment, it would. Yes, it can be as quick, but it takes more effort and a better driver to do so.

Y'know, I've never been able to understand why people vilified the 04 so much. I never found it hard to drive. When I drove mine, it was fast and I was regularly labelled a cheater. Good car!
Its part of the fun lol

Can you pinpoint the cause to the diff and the diff only? I dont feel you can, for the reasons previously posted, plus many many more variables. So to blame the diff for the 06, is a massive stretch. There is simply too many factors at play. Open diff is cheaper, thats one very good reason to enjoy it
