Friend of mine was really big into the Grand Prix's and GTP's. I asked him about them and he told me that the pontiac guys all run quaife, supposed to be real good high quality sh*t.

Red, you're out to start an argument aren't you?? What kind of comment is that, I mean, GM nor anyone else would offer that as an added option if it weren't worth it. I'm not even going to waste my time commenting further on what you just posted. LSD is worth the money.

^^ lol^^ Do you know what it does. I mean besides just turning better, eliminating 1 wheel peels. The car would be nearly impossable to navigate in the snow w/o one, Also in the rain it keeps you from shooting off the road. Judging from you name 2.4 SS/sc I can see youprobly don't know what your talking about.

lsd is overrated is a very good comment it costs 1,000 dollars JUST to buy the part probably 500 to put in so your looking at 1500 now i GUARANTEE YOU that your 1/4 mile time wont go down by more than .2 tenths of a second and thats being REALLY REALLY nice , sure lsd is good for auto x but only 5% of the people on this board auto x if you think its gonna effect your 1/4 mile times a lot save your 1500 dollars SERIOUSLY , im not out here to start arguments i just think its funny how all these people want this part , when its so expensive and does so little for the community (drag racing) as a WHOLE
too further extend my point you spend 1,500 hundred on your lsd and ill spend 200 on traction mods and 500 on performance parts and ill meet you at the track and buy you drinks with the 700 dollars i saved after i wax your ass up and down the track get what im saying , im on this forum for drag racing and drag racing only i dont auto x , and im not here to play tiddlywinks or make friends if i want to make friends ill get off the internet

i retract the 15.0 statement saw it was a 14.49 thought it said 14.9 , 3rd fried clutch though it definately driver mod so im not gonna retract that statement
and the fact that you live in boston, the road is wet more than it is dry i bet your happy you have an lsd but that doesnt have anything to do with what im arguing , im saying lsd is way overrated, overpriced , and not worth 1500 for drag racing !!

It's not overpriced if ordered on the car from the factory. The going rate is ~$750 now.
It would be nearly $2000 to buy and install separately though, so I will agree with you if thats the case.
As far as it being overrated, it really depends who you ask. Not everybody really understands what it does, so they either over-appreciate it or under-appreciate it.
The people who think it "doesn't do ****" usually a) dont have one, b) have one and dont know how to recognize the positive effects it has in inclement weather, c) have one and dont push the car to the point where they'd notice it, or d) push the car too hard and expect more out of it than they should.
The people who think it makes a world of difference between one car that has LSD and one that doesnt probably a) have it, and think their car has 200% better traction than a non-LSD equipped car, b) dont have it, wish they did, and therefore also think it gives you 200% better traction, c) have it, ran .1 secs faster than their buddy with a non-lsd car and think the LSD is the reason for the .1, where in reality there are so many factors that could have caused that .1 sec difference that its silly to think it was just the LSD, or d) are just cocky showoffs that like to rub it in other peoples faces that they have something someone else doesnt, regardless of their knowledge of its functionality.
Thats my $.02 on the subject.
P.S. - In Red2.4SS/SC's defense, hes not a retard that thinks he has a 2.4 S/C, he has an SS and lives in South Carolina!

Quaife LSDs are some of the nicest units made. They service several apps, and we love to use them on various makes & models.
