Do you know what LSD is? LSD = equal amount of power distribution to both rear wheels = better launch.

This is so far from the truth it is ridiculous.

Yes. That would also decide the outcome of a lot of races.

Negative Ghostrider... it allows for unequal torque distro to the rear wheels to get traction to the wheel that needs it most.

Somehow the phrase "the blind leading the blind" comes to mind in reading this thread.

Guess I'm just thinking, one wheel burn out equals "unequal torque". So having a LSD provides no advantage when trying to launch? I think I'm having a brain fart right now ...

Karl-if you look closely in the drag section most of the 1.9 60ft's on regular street tires come from base owners. At the track where (hopefully) grip is plentiful at stockish Z power levels an LSD offers no advantage. Some non drivers would disagree with me thinking that an LSD will take them from their weaksauce and pathetic 2.4 60ft's to 2.0's but its not true. Ive personally seen 2 guys with minimal drag racing experience get lucky in stock base Z's and cut 1.9 60ft's--->on the way to running palsy shifting 14.2's+....now try launching a 500whp Z peg legging and thats a different story.

Maybe! Or maybe you should stop assuming that everyone is proficient in English. I am not sure if you are aware of this but there are people in the world that are not Americans.
