    Does my car actually have a differential and if so, why does an ordinary coupe car need one?
    You own an extraordinary car for someone who doesn't know what a rear diff is

    Differential means difference between something.

    If terms of a cars drivetrain, it's the difference between the power split between the driven wheels.
    There has to be a difference so cars can corner as one wheel must spin faster than the other to get around a corner.

    But in this case, differential appears to mean the difference between reality and fantasy.

    The car is imaginary, just like the £40K Porsche 911 was imaginary that he bought on a whim instead of a diesel Peugeot 406.

    only in the bizarre way that he seems to think we believe his nonsense.

    And i've no idea why.  Nobody cares even if he did have a real M4 or Porsche.  Hes not impressing anyone.

    He's impressing himself though.  It's just internet enabled onanism...
