I don't know, I sure could have used an LSD with my 3.70 the other day. I had a
brief drag race at a light with a kid in a 240-SX. Got plenty of rubber in 1st
but still beat him.
Coming out of a corner in 2nd I can get plenty of wheelspin, too, which I hate.
I should really go ahead and put together an LSD for it.
