LSD or NO LSD, just in regards to torque steer.

I may take a brisk drive through the back mountain rounds here or there but other than that, I'm not an extreme driver. So I'm just wondering what will feel better in regards to torque steer. Unfortunately there are no dealers with a LSD to drive in my area, so I can not try for myself .

If I go with no LSD, there is a mini I can buy today with just about all the other options I want, otherwise I have to order and wait til' August. That doesn't sound nice at all , but I will do it, if it will improve the way it drives.

 

IMHO, no LSD creates more. In fact, no LSD in overboost is almost scary. My MCS has LSD and it's not near as squirrely as the MCS I test drove that didn't have LSD.

 

Although that is what I am assuming for now, in my mind it seems like LSD should pull more in a turn as you are transferring more power to the outside wheel that has more traction. Not much should change when exceleration in a straight line on even ground, right? I must be missing something about LSD.

 

LSD will keep pulling in a tight turn where a non-LSD (open differential) won't. It seemed to me that the non-LSD MCS that I test drove spun the right wheel on an attempt to jump out into traffic. My MCS with LSD just jumps out there but it will spin one or both a little.

 

Thanks for your thoughts Warped, I orderred yesterday and got LSD.
