Yes ST does have anti-stall, it's all built in with the drive-by-wire accelerator.
To really notice it, try rolling slowly down a hill without any gas! You will feel (and see rev counter bounce) the engine rev/dip/rev/dip....
Makes you look like a dumpling in queing traffic, just edging forward going down hill.
Still even with it you can still stall the engine!!

Cripes, i've been sitting on TWO! Seemed the best way of not having the "look at that racing toss pot" looks from the other cars

The quaife unit wont stop wheel spin when accelerating.... the power has to go somewhere. It will lessen the wheelspin in conering or pulling off from stand still whilst turning the wheel (like onto a road) but not in a sraight line.

did already start at 3000 RPM and have tyre smoke everywhere so not sure that the best way to do a quick start!

I don't think so Steve. The Quaife ATB works very much like a Torsen differential. The only circumstance where it does not work is when one wheel is totally free (i.e. in the air) but as long as both wheels are able to transmit torque then torque is biased automatically between the two. It will actually work mostly in a straight line. Of course every system has its limitations and in extreme situation, both driven wheels will begin to loose traction and spin but compared to a standard "open" diff the improvement will be phenomenal.

The Quaife ATB makes a massive difference steve, ive seen a couple installed on other cars. It stops a hell of a lot of wheel spinning and gives so much more traction. Like nick said, it's a phenomenal difference, just costs a few.
