AN after market LSD is great on a road course, the stock lsd for Drag racing is just fine...

Also your car is stock and your pulling 2.11 on your 60ft? The last thing you need is an LSD, get something better that wil work with your set up...
Humm like som nice DR's.

Nobody said it wouldnt make a difference, but the situation he explains and believes an LSD will prevent is total and complete BS

oh I know, I rarely do full out launches where you really dig the rear tires into the ground, but straight line driving once the car is actually moving just out on the street with street tires (even the stock tires) is where I noticed the traction being better and having a more confident feeling

Yeah im going to convert to a stock lsd. Just got stuck on a small incline all due to being in grass... thats dry grass too. Yeah, LSD is bad and will never help ...

BUT first i have to figure this tranny thing out, big problems, IMO. My Z is really starting to have some mood swings.

Reading this thread leads me to believe the OP's discussion of LSD is not referring to the mechanical component we have in cars but perhaps to what these individuals are pushing on the streets.

OP refuses to believe that what he said was bogus. Nobody said an LSD wouldnt make the car better. Still waiting on that timeslip BTW-the one that doesnt exist
