    LSD Pros:

    * stops inside wheel spinning when your turning a corner to aid in faster acceleration
    * better off the mark acceleration as it prevents one wheel spinning loosing traction
    * good for wet and muddy grass areas where if your nearly bogged with one wheel spinning the LSD will give you 2 wheels traction and not one
    * less chance of blowing it doing burnouts
    * if one wheel hits gravel or a wet metal man hole or a wet tram line when your accelerating you keep accelerating instead of stopping accelerating and breaking out in one wheel spin


    LSD cons:
    * makes the tyres wear a little faster
    * can cause your back end to slide out on hard acceleration around corners on slippery surfaces
    * cant think of any more, i love LSD's

    so basically i love them and wouldnt be without them. nothing more frustrating than getting stuck on a hill on wet grass and cant go anywhere cause one wheel is spinning. nothing more frustrating than accelerating on a wet tram line and going no where cause one wheel is spinning. an LSD puts even power through both wheels giving both equal power even if one has alot les traction than the other and by doing that it gets you moving quicker or keeps you moving.

    but still with a LSD you can get one wheel spinning if there is a large difference of traction from one side to the other if you put your foot down hard enough.
