What is Hydratrak?

I've seen this quite a lot in the optional extra's lists. But what is 'Hydratrak' anyway?
Hydratrack is to proper LSDs what a mush box is to a proper gearbox. Basically with Hydratrack the two wheels are connected together by a viscous coupling instead of a friction plate. Result is it doesn't do anything until you have a significant amount of wheelspin, which is (IMO) the *wrong* answer. Almost like driving a standard open diff and made for some rather unpredictable handling. Conventional friction plate diff is far more predictable, gives more traction and is altogether nicer to drive.
