Sure you might not need it in a straight line on these cars (if all roads where straight lines), but what about wet weather, snow, and your every day daily driving.
Its not rocket science get it if you can find a car with it, $500/option for a quaife lsd, why yes thank you.

 

oh ok so no help in straight line ok got it. i knew it would help in the bends and what not but i didnt know if it would help at all from a dig in a straight line. i mean sure ill continue to find a balt with one already in but if not i guess i wont cry over it haha. like i said before tho i will be modding it but not just power of course like coilovers and tires (traction mods) as well. so that should help alot too! i didnt think that an lsd would help in rain...

 

LSD is going to help in any condition where you momentarily lose traction.
Just go google Limited Slip Differential and read up on it, then you can decide.

 

I've ran multiple lsd cars against my open diff, and I don't fair as well. It's needed. I had to buy it later since it wasn't even optioned in '04

it may not be used as much in drag racing but, trust me. it's useful.

 

Did it once. It was pretty cool.



oh wait..

 

a noob question... isnt the LSD tranny a little stronger that the non-LSD??

 

That is a good question. Anyone know?

 

No its not any stronger.

 

Ya lsd isnt as important for dry straight line performance.. For cornering or bad weather.. Different story

 

ya thats what i thought haha. and as far as whether or not the tranny is stronger, i dont think it would be any at least to my knowledge. everything is made up the same just have a lsd for better traction in there. i could be wrong though good question!

 

Lsd=stronger tranny???

 

Think about it guys.....the more traction you get when you are boosting hard....the more stress you put on the transmission. These f35s are glass right? So i dont know about you, but hooking up from a dig in my ss/tc sounds really troublesome and $$$ for what? These cars are not fast enough to be launching the dang thing!! Just drive it and hit it from a roll. Now maybe if you are making 550hp and 450 tq the car will be fast, but just bolt ons and a tune makes the turbo car peppy, at best. Describing a low 13 second car as fast is something you say when you have never driven a fast car. Just saying
