What makes you say that you have an LSD?

I take it that you have an auto, since you never really answered my questions. If you want for us to help you, you have to provide us with the correct information.

What does that even mean? Grammatically it makes no sense.

He means that at one light he can get wheel but at another he cannot. Basically, he says his car is running inconsistently.

Road surfaces vary greatly, and it makes a huge difference in how the tires grip. Take your car to the track or dyno it to see if it's actually a power loss, or just road inconsistancies. A tune up wouldnt hurt either.
