Wavetrac.
It worked fine.
With the nanny enabled, the electronics would come on less frequently.
With the nanny off, I could slide the car around as I please.
The LSD was really nice in winter with the nanny off.
I could drive on the snow without having by brakes tapping all the time.
And the car was predictable to boot. Never had the nanny kick in and fight what I'm telling it to do.
Winter driving was the impetus for me doing the LSD.
I took the car to an empty parking lot and tried to do doughnuts and 8's with it on the snow - the nanny would intervene and FORCE the car to go straight as soon as I got any slide going on.
I was fairly pissed off. What if I was in a turn, and slid a little bit, and the car friggin' sent me straight into oncoming traffic just so I wouldn't step out in the rear? Stupidest shit I've ever seen.
I literally had to pull my e-brake a couple times in a turn/exit to force the thing to rotate on the snow when my stability BS engaged. I
HATED it.
From then on I used the LSD with nanny off in the winter.
If the rear slid a bit in a turn, fine. I never had to worry about electronically-induced-understeer ever again.
Then in summer came the aggressive alignment. Which just made the car a lot more fun to drive.
