You are exactly 180 out on this. In a corner, the outside wheel needs to spin faster than the inside one, because it is going around the arc of a circle that has a larger radius than the wheel on the inside by the distance of the track of the car. Also, the inside wheel is unweighted relative to the outside wheel, because in corners cars lean the wrong way. A differential allows for the wheels to spin at different rates of speed without damaging anything or dragging/pushing the wheels. Unfortunately, with an open differential, as soon as one wheel breaks traction - the inside one while cornering, because it is has less weight on it than the outside wheel - it steals power from the outside wheel. LSD's counter this through different forms of wizardry to send the power to the wheel that actually has grip allowing any vehicle with an LSD to power through corners better than a similar one with an open differential.

cool

If only the CVT had a LSD then, great to hear your CVT Integra experiences. I’m not as down on the stick as I was earlier this week, but I still think I will want something, more power, dual clutch Type-S Integra, I dunno. I’m just going to drive this for a year and reassess then. Otherwise I just drive myself nuts double guessing. And do you see that PRL turbo drop in upgrade? I’ll still wait for a Type-S Integra though, just to have the better base car before upgrading. That was the original plan anyway. I can alway buy a second RDX TS or something and have both vehicles. The new CTR is exciting too.

I almost put a CTR LSD in a 2019 Accord Sport 2.0T 6MT. It should work as a drop in part, but nobody has ever tried to my knowledge. That’s how much I love a good LSD.

Thoughts on a Lexus? Not sure why they're not talked as much compared to the A3 and other competitors.

I literally can't even name a single Lexus model. Do they still make the IS250? I feel like last time I cared about Lexus the IS had a NA version of the Supra engine.
