    Limited-slip differential. Only available with manual. Optional, so you won't have it in all probability. For what it does, search the forum a bit.

    use the "search"

    "LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) is one of the major drugs making up the hallucinogen class. LSD was discovered in 1938 and is one of the most potent mood-changing chemicals. It is manufactured from lysergic acid, which is found in ergot, a fungus that grows on rye and other grains."

    I think this is THE kind of LSD that RonnieC6Z uses when he drives his Z06.

    Re: LSD?

    What hornets?

    It's all virtual bees, honest!

    Who cares anyway. My current A4 TDi CVT will smoke his Z06 anytime...





    ... I just have to pick a long enough route. Bonus points if there are many cops on the road.

    .... I thought they'd solved the smoke problem on modern diesels.

    Re: LSD?

    Seriously though, folks. This option is about 1K and I'm debating whether or not to get it. If I'm not planning on serious track use, do you think it will really improve the handling versus a car not so equipped? Opinions or observations would be appreciated.

    Re: LSD?

    I ordered it..because I thought the car would be more like a rear wheel 911 in it's character.

    Re: LSD?

    heh i KNEW someone would make a drug comment.

    it will definitely help on the track.

    Seems there is some discussion that the ony thing "LSD" is good for is inefficient drifting and burning tires. I ordered this option and wonder now if I may have added something to the car that I may wish I hadn't. Will this feature make the car less efficient? Thanks for the feedback.

    No, it will help you get power to the ground more efficiently. However, it will also make drifts easier, should you so desire.

    Why would it be easier to drift with LSD? As far as I know LSD increases cornering speed by increasing the grip. You can longer drive neutral with LSD, even break later. LSD increases the track performance much more then PCCB.

    Please explain.

    I try to explain..but i don't know if i'm able..

    Without LSD the wheel that loose grip take all the power and the one with more grip as "no" traction,imagine on a left turn:the left rear wheel will loose traction becouse the weight go to the right side of the car and the right rear wheel have traction,but WITHOUT LSD the power go to the left rear wheel that is "easier" to let turn

    With LSD the rear wheels try to make the same turn(the left and the right one) so if you make a left turn,with the LSD the right rear wheel don't loose turn becouse take more traction,but remain with the same turn of the left weel that have loose traction(all the two wheels make same turn and the most importand you don't loose traction) ...so if you make a drift,is easiest to stay in drift becouse you don't loose traction on the rear wheels..

    Maybe is not clear..but in Italian is easy for me to explain..

    Understand?

    NO!

    HAHA

    looooool!!! it is very clear dario...

    Thanks, Dario!
    That's exactly why!

    Re: LSD?

    SuperDarius,

    totally clear. I was wondering why for drifting the lsd should be better. I have confused smoked wheels (the one without traction) and drifting.

    AM

    Re: LSD?

    but not to confuse people, lsd will get you extra grip in narrow corners and faster rounds. That the aim of lsd, controled drifting is then only the consequence of the first statement.

    The car will seen to bend and actually flow around the tightest corners. Acceleration will become explosive, even violent. The music from the radio will become intoxicating, almost hypnotic. The lights of the vehicles that you are passing will become vivid and blur and trail like you are in a starships warp drive. Someone will say "orange sunshine" and you will start laughing..................
    Woa! Getting a flashback.........
