I hate when ***s come on these threads, and just tell you to search. In the time it takes them to ***** about you searching they could have helped you out.

Quick question:
Does the Base Z *not* having a LSD affect its 1/4 mile times compared to other models?

If you have the base, you will know how important it is once the inside wheel starts spinning with the you almost not moving. And in a track, you will literally see civics, CRX and other sh*tboxes posting better lap numbers. It is that important.

The affect of LSD usually depends on the amount of hits taken.

Provided those ****boxes do not have LSDs, I don't see how they would be consistently posting better lap numbers than a 350z.

Well, first of all I'm a sh*tty driver. Most of the track dudes on civics can drive. Second, not having it makes me even sh*tier. So, what can I say; I need it.

The new sport compact car mag feature a honda fit that posts better lap times by more than three seconds than an extremely modded veilside 350z with a supercharger. Any more questions?
