DSC and eLSD are pretty much the same things. You can't send more power to one wheel or the other without an actual LSD. All our cars do is manage the brake bias when accelerating, turning, etc. It's all ABS programming.

You want that. If it's cooking your brakes then turning it off just means you'll lose the rear end. Our traction control isn't that invasive that it slows you down when driving at the limit. Just prevents you from going past it.
