In fact, driving his car with the LSD meant that on corners that I would otherwise have to back off slightly (inside wheel would lift slightly), his car I could keep it pinned.
Do you need an LSD? No.... But I would imagine the vast majority of folks here who have mapped motors are also (sensibly  ) keen drivers and would likely benefit from the additional control offered by an LSD.... |
I had a quaife lsd fitted to mine because of the reasons you have mentioned. Also trying to get a spirited set off in the wet was hilarious. TC light flashing away all the way into 3rd gear. The quaife made the car way better in my opinion but wasn’t cheap!
