And how do you turn of VLSD on 07 Z?

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.

An LSD is more useful for nonstraightline situations
That might affect power delivery too.

When launching, if to much gas is applied, you will have a greater chance of breaking the "wheel" loose if you do not have an LSD seeing as how all of the torque is sent to one wheel only.
With an LSD, torque is distributed between two wheels, minimizing the chance of breaking the wheels loose on launch.

yea it does, but instead of a guide on how to turn it off it willsimply tell you that you can't.

increasing traction and assisting in a better launch.
