What is a LSD?
A LSD (Limited Slip Differential) is designed to evenly distribute rotation, to both the left & right wheels,
under cornering conditions for increase traction. This guarantees traction from the entry, through
the apex and exit of the corner, where the rotational difference on both the left & right wheels are different,
under cornering conditions. Both the throttle control & handling are greatly enhanced from initial
acceleration, to the exit of the corner and with throttle control of the car.

While cornering the wheel spins freely, Even with the inner wheel lifting, the outer wheel is
as the wheel lifts off the road due able to transfer the power to the road. So the car can
to body roll, and effectively loosing then accelerate and the driver can control the nature
acceleration. of the car with ease.
