I was going to start a new thread on the new center one-way but I will just ask and throw it in here....

How will a front and rear diff, standard non-center one-way equipped 501 perform/act/handle vs. a front and rear diff, center one-way equipped 501? Here is Jimmy's explanation of the center one-way from a few days ago..."The centre one way works on the front of the car but is located on the centre layshaft pulley. So the pulley itself will freewheel when off power. When on-power its just like a 'normal' 4WD car. So you get a little more steering into the corner and an easy to drive car out of the corner without the same snappy handling of a front one way."

So if I understand correctly, the pulley for the front belt will free-wheel while the rear will not? Will the front wheels still not do any of the braking (drag or intentional)? I want the aluminum center pulley(s) without drastically sacrificing my 501's current performance, but... if it does add a little more steering compared to a crazy steering full front one-way, I will likely buy and try it!
