Default LSD is good in snow/ice ?

If you have an LSD in your car, will it be better in the snow and ice??

I'm so glad this isn't a problem in Texas. I don't think I'd have the nerve to drive my R on ice. I won't drive it in rain. You guys have fun sliding around up there.

It will help you to put power to the tire that have traction. But if none of the tire have any traction, then there is nothing the LSD can do to help!!

Yes, I probably could learn a lot about how it handles, but I've pushed it to the limits enough that I have a pretty good feel for it. I'm just kind of particular about my R. I hate having to wash under it to get the water spots off the underside.

it barely does squat

it reacts too slowly... but the time it starts coming into play (if at all) it's already too late and you're stuck! i had better luck back when i used to have a clutch-type lsd, but sometimes it was a little to abrupt and it sometimes a bit scary because of all the lateral movement...

My experience is different. However, since you live in Vancouver, I suppose I must defer to the person who's obviously driven in more and deeper snow than I have.
have u tried a clutch-type lsd george? maybe it's because i'm basing my opinion on my experiences with one that makes me say it's slow...
