butty.... wut you mean? not suitable for our cars?
better grip? abs ka? tyres?
our cars being without LSD would loose traction most probably on the inner wheels if we throtle midst of the corner...this happens because our suspension has not enough travel to put the wheel to the ground hence an inner wheel lift...this means the wheel will jus spin freely losing grip and your car would understeer wide...
my guess...jus my speculation (you can correct me if i am wrong)...being never driven one on our car before...if our car has an LSD...when the LSD kicks in and locks the wheels up...wouldn't the other wheel have a chance to lose traction under throttle as well??? remember...our car is front wheel driven and steering also depends on the front wheel ...and our tyre has such a limited contact patch...this situation would be far worse than the above mentioned one..wou would loose all steering and imagine what would happen...but heck..this is all up to different driving methods...
straight line acceleration..don't think it helps a lot..
read this, explanation from a drifeters point of view...

"A LSD or Limited Slip Differntal, Creates a locking action inside the Rear Differtal.
Forcing both wheels to spin at the same speed.
They'res many differnt types and brands of LSD's,
1. Clutch Type (Cusco, Nismo others)
2. Hetical Type
3. Quafie (did i spell right?)
The main reason drifters use LSD is to keep the rear wheels spinning at the same time, to make better looking and more controlable drifts. A LSD will also help in the exit of a drift where a
Open Diff would normally put power to one wheel, the LSD puts power to both."
