Ok well I went around on the web to learn more about LSD, to atleast figure out if I am really going to want it or need it well...Since I never had LSD just the simple traction control and VSC which isnt it the same as LSD?

This is the big question about what model i will choose. I like the car already very much. But the question is I am gonna have the car as a project car/show car but also take it to the track or race course to get some fun out of it as well and maybe the random cruises down fun roads. Would it be a good idea to get the Z with LSD?

Ive seen some posts were some said they wished LSD came standard on the base model. Im sure one can be added down the road as well though idk how much it will run all together.

Hopefully the dealers near me get more Ethu and Touring models in soon cause possibly I might be getting one that I like end of april or early May.

Thanks for the help and info

so far every color ive seen it in looks good as hell.

 

Get the enthusiast model with the LSD. That's what I did. I wanted the lightest model out there that had the LSD.

 

LSD: When one wheel begins to slip under power, the LSD sends power to the wheel that is gripping

TCS: when one wheel begins to slip under power, the TCS cuts power to the wheel that is slipping.

LSD's make the biggest difference in low speed corner exits. You are trying to put power down, but the combination of G forces and short gearing overwhelm the inside rear (on a RWD car) wheel. Without an LSD, this wheel will spin but not actually push your car out of the corner very quickly. The outiside wheel, where all the grip is will not be getting any power.

IMHO the enthusiast is a great deal. Adding an aftermarket LSD is possible but a pain in the ***.

 

+1. Good post with useful information.

I think it would be better to buy a model that has factory VLSD. Factory installed VLSD would insure the best results from a tested and reliability standpoint. Not sure though since I have no experience with aftermarket LSD’s.

Ok thanks for the info and since its a pain in the *** to add a LSD then **** im gonna get the Ethu model. Though ill be waiting awhile since all the Ethu are auto and i want a stick. Which means i get to save some more for some goodies haha.
