Disclaimer edit: There are fast FWD race cars running Queefs with success, however they spend a lot of time perfecting the setup to enable it to put the power down. FWD cars already have enough trouble not tearing up their front tires, and not just the ones with 500whp. ---

The 3 is great in the snow. Blizzaks, lsd and dsc to keep ya going straight. But there are times (high centered) when I have to scratch the dsc and get some wheel spin to get moving. ---

Pretty sure the Quaife on the Cobalt is a 1 way helical. They don’t work if don’t already have some traction, that’s why they became open when one wheel is of the ground. They are OEM stuff and It is better than nothing, that’s it. ---
