I've always felt that a VW Caddy (pickup version of the original Golf/Rabbit) with a Boxter engine and suspension in the bed, box flares, and custom front suspension would be an absolute hoot and VERY fast

You would just leave it locked. The detroit tru-track is only $380, that's not bad at all. The 3.08 is going to kill me though, so I should probably look for a better ratio axle, I think it will be cheaper than a new set of gears. I hate setting up differentials anyway.

I need to haul stuff though, a motorcycle specifically.

Apparently NJ likes their trucks to autocross, and pull their weight.

I bet that truck could pull a loaded trailer and run the same time.

LSD and traction bars or helper springs are highly recommenced.
I autocrossed my turbo mighty max / D50 and had really bad wheel hop. Traction was such an issue for me.
