Is it me or is Sports Compact mag on a mission to make the Z look as bad?

 

Assuming that 1/4 mile is in a straight line, than I would think it would not make a difference if you had one or not... although the tracers are more impressive while turning.

 

Is there any power loss between cars with a LSD and a Live Axle?

 

No, the answer was given above in the like to wikipedia. Now when someone searches they will find the answer there. Searches don't answer questions, people do. If you don't want to answer the question, don't do it.

But don't ruin people's time on here because you don't like the question they asked. Be nice.

 

Im surprised he hasnt gotten flamed yet.

Two different articles. I think the magazine makes it pretty clear that the cars tested in the "z" article (they test the cars from the f & f 3) were *extremely* beaten down and were performing much lower than they should. They mentioned this on almost every car bio. In fact they point out how high the z's trap speed was and how much potential was there if it could actually hook up (iirc it was ~114 mph). WAY higher than all the other cars.

In response to the mention making the z look bad, they actually make it pretty clear that the "drift king" z had the best times of all the cars from f & f 2 + 3.

 

^ was that just spam or did I miss something?

 

It should also be noted that a LSD equipped car will be easier to spin around. On a non-lsd equipped car, the inside tire will spin in a tight turn, but it will be much harder to get the back end to come around.

On the drag strip, there should be equal traction for both tires, so 1/4 mile times should not really be affected. A non-LSD equipped car can either do one wheel burnouts or two wheel burnouts, just depends on the surface and amount of traction each tire has.
