Default Someone explain this..

Can someone explain how exactly the limited slip and traction control work when going around a corner? I noticed that when stopped and making a 90 degree turn the z seems to bog down a little bit (usually when making the turn really fast). I am thinking that this has something to do with the differential and the outer wheel spinning faster than the inner wheel .. Is the engine actually cutting off power to the wheels to compensate for this?

Sorry I'm a car newbie

the Viscus LSD that comes on the Z is not that much of a locker to really effect the wheels when making a tight turn...

what size rims / tires do you have? that could be the issue if they are aftermarket...

Default Turning

I am using the stock 17's with the stock tires. My slip light has come on one time when making the turn but my car seems to hesitate when i gas it around every turn from a dead stop or a slow roll. I thought maybe the was the car being too smart.
