Re: what is LSD?
Lsd is limited slip differential. In our front wheel drive cars when we launch traction is only given to ONE wheel, YES one wheel. That means that only one wheel is spinning when we launch on races or when we are cornering and shit. The LSD provides traction for both wheels, resulting in better launches, launching is going from 0 to a certian speed as fast as we can, spinning tires. An lsd is good for cornering also.

Ok there is need for more info here.
Go here. you will find proper info an all the three main types of LSD's. To add to that info the viscous will be the most seamless however its internal fluid will break down under too much power. The clutch will tend to lock so it can cause some nasty understeer but will be perfect for the strip. The torsen will be best for handling since it will bias the power to the outside turning wheel. Of course those are the general characteristics of the three lsd's. They can however vary greatly due to different settings or design.
