so just as a summary, if it is just for the street the LSD is not a NEED. If I am going to track/Autocross it is NICE to have.

I used to have an M3 with traction control and I hated it because every turn I went into with power, the traction control would step in, take all the power away from the car until it was "stable" again and then bring the power back. It was a really unnatural feeling. That being said though, I'm sure it kept me out of the trees a couple of times.

Do you find that it is easy to "break" the back end on this car easily and get into "trouble" ie. hit things?
