Default lsd vs atts

Can anyone tell me which system would be more beneficial in handling and drag racing? Thanks in advance.

LSD, the ATTS is nothing more than added wegit if you want a straight line, to be honest, a good LSD in a base model would probabyl handle jsut as good as an SH, besides that, it's less weight, and from what i hear, the ATTS unit makes it a bitch to cahnge the oil

lsd is better for drag, atts is made for cornering. you'd prolly have more understeer with lsd. also, it ain't a bitch to change oil with atts. i never had a prob.

a true LSD will let you corner better than an open diff. i have one in my auto-x car, and it takes turns much better than a stock. i think the LSD you are thing of is similar to a "possi-locker" like used on muscle cars.

an LSD is torque biased, if you take a turn, the centrifical force will force the power to the outer wheel, but in the latter, when you put down power, it will transfer the power to the wheel with the least traction, and if you are really on it, it will casue both wheels to hook up

the CTR and ITR and PTS are all cars made for road courses, each of these use a torque biased LSD for handling purposes, and actually, an LSD is actually better, IMO, than the ATTS
