Perhaps you can explain the benefits.

I have a Canadian model with LSD and I couldn't tell you what the benefits are, particularly as I don't drive the car in ice and snow and don't drag race.

I see. I have stock suspension (SE) and a FSTB and have done some playing around since I got the FSTB (have no RSB) and I must admit, the car pulls through the turns pretty well, particularly with new tires.

Gotta love the y-pipe, bring on the B, lol!

Or you're on a slick surface and want to get moving.

On dry pavement, it's not useful for daily driving. On low traction surfaces, it's a pretty substantial difference.

on low traction/slick surfaces, in the corners, from a dead stop, and it also elimnates torque steer. so better, no, way better takeoffs!
