Re: (PirateMcFred)
don't they both do the same? transfer power to the wheel with the most grip...
lsd is not for straights only... it may even be better then atts cuz it's lighter... no electronics... doesnt break as often (good brand lsd that is)

Re: (AssItch1)
The way I like to think about it, ATTS is active whereas an LSD is reactive. An LSD is mechanical and can only respond to changes after they happen, and is more on/off. ATTS is active in that it analyzes many sensors and anticipates changes and conditions and gives you optimal balance of torque between the wheels using variable rates. Because the ATTS system also uses a lateral G sensor and VSS, it also fights under AND oversteer. So in my opinion, ATTS>LSD

^^Good answer, couldn't have simplified it better myself.
The 2 systems are fairly similar in concept, though different in design.
Though it isn't the fastest way through most corners, you can actually enter a corner under power with ATTS and still steer through it.
An LSD may require you to drive the corner properly, but if you do, you will be rewarded with all the traction you need on corner exit, and it also helps you launch the car in a straight line. Don't forget, however, that SH Preludes have far less tq steer than base models, due to their unique front suspension design, so it won't be as much of an issue.
Remember, however, that ATTS limits your power to around 250 at the wheels (or so people say) and limits your tuning options to piggybacks. If you're looking at keeping the car fairly mild and want a nice corner carver, go with an SH. But if you've got some cash to spend an want to build the car a bit, go with a base and get an LSD, you'll be happier in the long run.

Just a tad bit biased?
