I've been looking into this LSD thing but, given the cost and the way I drive, I don't think I need it. I drive in a "spirited" way and have a hard time keeping the speedo under 80, but I don't drag race or care to "drift" and I haven't lost traction or caused the DSC to kick in and bog down my 335i in turns yet.

The way I drive incorporates a technique called the PACE; it's a motorcycling concept which involves throttle control which allows you to ride/drive through the twisties at the fastest possible speed w/o touching your brakes. Riding/driving in this way is very SMOOTH and involves absolutely no loss of traction.

See: http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/fl...nick_ienatsch/

Those who do need LSD either track their cars or drive WAY faster than I do and, if that's the way y'all drive, more power too you.

Or we live where we get snow. We aren't all as lucky as you Cali guys that get perfect weather for 365 days a year.
