It is just so weird. As soon as i stop the car rolls freely. I drive home, jack it up and there are no funny noises, no signs of rubbing. Nothing!

If you've already jacked it up and turned the wheels then you would have felt something on the wheel bearings.
It could well be a faulty diff and the standard ones can fail (I have one that has let go on a 3.2 GT) see - http://www.autolusso.co.uk/gearbox-rebuilds.html In this case the car went with a bang and lost drive, I then managed to engage a gear and limped it home before it would not drive anymore. In my case it is terminal but if it is your diff failing then you may be able to save your gearbox by checking now. As they say swapping to the Quaife helps prevent this failure.
You should be able to drop the diff without removing the box from the car, it is possible in the other replicas so you could be lucky.
The fact that one wheel goes the opposite way when you turn the other suggests that at least some of the parts are where they are supposed to be. You would still be able to push the car back and forth irrespectively, it is just when you try to drive the car that the problem would arise.
Happy hunting
