Unless you have an automatic the money saved on fuel would get spent on
clutches.

not concerned with stoplight perfomance........but it certainly would help
out with the fact that I EAT UP 1st gear now.

The 1.6 would get seriously lethargic at stoplights with the CTS diff.

I have been debating with a coworker about how Elvis gets better gas
mileage now as a LS1 vs running a 4 cyl. I know it is due to the CTS diff and
taller gearing. It started me thinking.......always has the potential to get
dangerous with me.
What would a 1.6 FMII get with the CTS diff vs the Torsen I am running
now. Also, as I recall from my Torsen swap there was not alot involved in
changing it over.
What I thought would be cool is to simplify the swap by making the 1/2
shafts two piece and be able to change over the Torsen CV side over to the CTS
CV side. Run the CTS diff for gas mileage and swap in the Torsen for having
serious fun. And if I ever have my dream come true be able to swap in the
Torsen for SERIOUS FUN with the LS1 engine.......
